Hi,

Kindly avoid mucinex during pregnancy.This drug can be used in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and also during breast feeding. Mucinex should be avoided in first trimester since it can increase the risk of certain fetal defects.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
