A member asked:

I am 10 weeks pregnant and have a bad flu/cold.is it safe for me to take acc 200 and sambucol syrup? panado hasnt helped me much.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flu in pregnancy: I would recommend seeking evaluation if you are having flu like symptoms. Neither one of those medications have been proven to be safe in pregnancy so I would avoid them.
