Hi doctor,

I am four and a half months pregnant. I took a spoon of Grilinctus syrup. Is it harmful to my baby?

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I took only one spoon today evening for cough and cold. I am not facing problems. I am not taking medicines for cough and cold. I took this medicine under the guidance of my doctor for pregnancy.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is good to stop taking Grilinctus (Ammonium Chloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, and Guaifenesin). Certain studies reveal that it is not good to take Grilinctus in pregnant women. If you do not have any improvement in your cold and cough, I request you please contact me with more details to help you better.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
