Is It Safe To Take Azee-500 For Cough During Pregnancy?

I am 6 weeks pregnant, I was suffering from severe cough, and my gynecologist prescribed me Azee-500, Deriphyllin and Cosome syrup. Since I was hesitant to take medicine during pregnancy, I have not yet started it. But my cough is going very severe. Please let me know if it is safe to take the above medicines.

Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Yes, it safe to take the above medicines.

A lot of women feel that in early pregnancy any and every medicine has to be avoided, but please remember that maternal ill health can also affect the baby. So if you are having a throat infection which is not improving better to take the medications and get well soon.

Off course the first 12 weeks of pregnancy are very crucial in the development of the fetus and any external factors should be avoided, but if the mother is unwell and will need medications it is important that the antibiotics and cough suppressants are taken in proper dosage immediately.

All the medicines mentioned above are safe to be taken in pregnancy and should not concern you.

Get well soon.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
