A member asked:

Can i take dexorange in 4 the month of pregnancy and it has alcohol content of 5.5v/v.due to its alcohol content any problem is there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alcohol/pregnancy: It is generally advised that alcohol in any form is not approved in pregnancy. The tendency to have more is a hard habit to break. Remember, the fetus does not have the compensatory mechanisms to deal with alcohol as do adults.
