I visited to nearby clinic and doc.has advised me to take Moxikind CV 625mg (thrice a day), Asthakind-DX Syrup (thrice a day) and Mucaine Gel Syrup (Two tablespoon thrice a day). Kindly help is it safe during pregnancy or not.
Hi,I guess your concern is about taking drugs (Moxikind-CV, Asthakind-DX, Mucaine gel syrup) for throat infection during pregnancy is safe or not, right. Firstly, my straight forward answer is YES. These all drugs are safe at your present state of pregnancy. Secondly, I want to tell you that safety of the drugs during pregnancy. Most of the drugs are not prescribe in first trimester (1-12 weeks of pregnancy), because during this is the crucial period for the development of organs of the baby. This period is called organogenesis, if the drugs given in this period, they effects the organogenesis and baby may be delivered with deformations. Thats of doctor prescribe the drugs which are safe during that period. As you told that you are 26 weeks pregnant then you are in a safe zone. So RELAX,  nothing will happen to your baby. With above discussion you can try out my suggestions:1. RELAX, DON'T WORRY. You are taking right drugs. They will not have any bad effects on your baby.2. If you are still worried then feel free to ask your treating doctor about the safety of the drugs during pregnancy. Generally it is a good habit to ask all benefit and side effects of the drugs, you are going to take.I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for you. Let em know if I can assist you further.I pray the God that you are relieved from the throat infection as early as possible and blessed with a cute and healthy baby.Regards,Dr Sudha Rani Panagar
