Avoid: This medication is not available in the US but reading the ingredients it has a high dose of Aspirin, caffeine and Menthol. Aspirin use in pregnancy is limited to patients with certain bleeding disorders. Flu symptoms should be evaluated to determine if Influenza A or B are present and then prescription medications should be used.
