Hello Ma'am,

I do not recommend taking cough syrup during pregnancy. Instead, I recommend using a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day to minimize the amount of secretions in your nose (that run down your throat and make you cough).

This should be behind you in a few days :)

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
