Ring Rodney Whyte on the monash medical centre drug information line.... (03) 9594 2361 . He'll be able to let you know if it's a concern or not.

On no! Chances are it's just one of those 'in case' warnings - I'd go back to the chemist you got the tabs from and speak to the pharmacist - they should be able to let you know. Try not to worry just yet

I'd call 13 HEALTH or your gp. Good luck.

I just went and asked the pharmisist and she wasnt concerned at all thank god im gonna read everything now god im an idiot

[Calluna]

Oh good! you're not an idiot, you're human. We make mistakes- what's important is that you learn from it

[Isadora]

No, it is no problem. They advise its best not to, but if need be you can. I took one while pregnant as DD brought the nasty things home from daycare. No issues at all
