A member asked:
I am 21 weeks pregnant, and have a respiratory infection, is there any cough meds that are safe for me to take? please help, it hurts to cough so much
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with OB: I would check with your OB to see what they recommend. Most ob's i know are ok with their patients taking Robitussin-DM for a short period of time, but, as with all meds during pregnancy, you usually want to avoid taking anything unless you clearly feel the benefits outweigh the risks.
