is immodium safe during pregnancy?

[skybie]

Chinese isnt agreeing with me and i have an hour car trip and a few hours at the hospital this morning and i dont feel safe being away from a toilet atm, can i take immodium?

[LionsandBears]

Just googled it. Immodium is category C. Unknown risk though I did find a page that mentioned a study that showed increased risks to baby.

I successfully treated self-induced food poisoning with apple cider vinegar. About 2 tablespoons in water, drink that. Then put another 2 tablespoons in water and sip throughout the day. Add honey to taste. Not only will it help with the runs and upset tummy, it's good for you as it helps promote healthy gut flora. That's good for both you and bub.

Otherwise ring Rodney Whyte on the monash medical centre drug information line (03) 9594 2361 .

Hope you feel better soon.

I wouldn't take it. I am pretty sure a pregnant woman shouldn't as I remember looking at that when pg with DD2.

Hope you feel better soon.

Take some ginger for nausea? Ginger tea?
