My wife is pregnant and has dry cough is it safe to take prospan syrup? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not safe: Prospan is made from dried ivy leaves, since ivy contains small amounts of emetine, it is not recommended during pregnancy, as this specific alkaloid may increase uterine contractions.
