    Definitely go back Laura! Let us know how you go.

    I was giving panadeine by the hospital for a migraine while i was pregnant. I too thought it wasn't allowed in prgnancy!

    I would definately go back and complain.

    Imagine if this same girl keeps giving the wrong advice? Someone could end up with serious side effects or dramas from her misinformation.

    If she was the pharmacist then you should definately go back and inform them of the error.

    I can vouch for polaramine. I used it when PG and it is the best thing I have EVER used. It does make you sleepy though. I still use it when I need something for hayfever.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    I forgot to add before.. I used Polaramine too and because they used to make me so drowsy (not good whilst at work!!) I used to take half a tablet which used to work the same as a full tablet but not make me as drowsy. So maybe give that a try if you want to give these tablets a go.

    If I'm having a bad hayfever day, I sneeze and snuffle and itch through work then take a polaramine at night to help make sure I get a good night's sleep.

    I think you should definitely go back! This woman needs to know she's giving wrong advice and putting mothers and babies at risk. Hopefully it was just a case of baby brain - I know mine is complete mush at the moment!
