Question

Is it ok to take Tylenol cold medicine while pregnant? I am almost 25 weeks.

Answer 1

My doctor told me no aspirin, aleve, or ibuprofen.

She said I could take tylenol, sudafed, dimetapp, zyrtec, claritin, plain robitussin cough medicine, any any kind of cough drop.

Answer 2

No, it's not good.

Answer 3

I wouldn't take any medicine. Try hot tea and take it easy.

Answer 4

i was told by my ob that tylenol products are fine to take while pregnant.  with that being said, it the meds have high amts of sudafed, I would check with your doc.  Are you so sick that you have to take somwething - or could a hot shower, some tea/soup do the trick without the worry?

Answer 8

My doctor told me I could only take regular Tylenol or Tylenol Extra Strength, but I was told not to take cold medicine.

Answer 9

I keep a "safe list" still on my fridge from the doc from when I was preggo and its not on there.  You can take PLAIN tylenol.  Then drink plenty of water, perhaps use a throat lozenge, sleep upright.  Its the decongestant that may be harmful

you should probably ask your doc. They will know
