Yes: Cough drops with menthol are not contraindicated in pregnancy. That is one of the reason these are OTC. You are doing good for checking. It is always better to be sure when it comes to pregnancy or your baby. Pharmacists are also a good resource to use when in doubt about medicine or reactions etc. Good luck:)
