Pseudoephedrine (sp) and Ibuprofen while pregnant?

[PollyA]

Ibuprofen Catergory C (Drugs which have been suspected of causing harm), sometimes used by specialists but can be a problem with the foetal circulation if taken in the days before birth. So not really overly cautious on the box but not a problem if birth is not imminent so you should be ok

Pseudoephidrine Catergory B2 (taken by a limited number of pregnant women with no adverse effects documented, animal studies lacking or inconclusive)- Avoid use in pregnancy, but probably would be ok.

I'd avoid Ibuprofen in the future, panadol is safe safe safe, panadeine would help a little with congestion, but the truth is pseudoephidrine is more than likely fine too

Hope you feel better soon

Eeek thanks I'll stay away from the Ibuprofen!!!

Just found my Vicks yesterday...might be time for a good coating of it, I think.

No honey for tea, damn vegans, but I'll see what I can find :-D
