ZOENIC - 99 days ago thanx for all your replies.. decided not to take lemsips, just good old paracetamol!! and lots of early nights :) xx

Brandi J. - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I'm not sure what it is, but I wouldn't take anything more than tylenol and drink lots of OJ, and rest as much as possible! There is just too great of a risk, I always worry about 10 yrs down the road a "safe" med being listed as not safe b/c it causes a,b, and c to unborn babies. Tylenol has been used for years so I don't worry so much about it, but even still, I only use it if absolutely neccessary! I hope you feel better soon!

michaela - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) If i were you i would avoid it, the Phenylephrine in lemsip may be a problem. If i were you i would take paracetamol 1000mg 4 times a day (every 4-6 hours) as necessary and also drink hot water with honey and lemon. I hope you start to feel better soon. If things don't settle speak to your gp.

LMO - 100 days ago Rating: 1 (1 votes) i have never heard of it you might want to check with the doctor because of the limited number of meds you can take during pregnancy

debi - 100 days ago Rating: 1 (1 votes) Hi, i nearly had one the other but it said on packet, if pregnant consult doc first. I didnt bother having one in the end.

mommy-of-3 - 100 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) I have never heard of this but I do know that Tylenol, regular Robutussin, and regular Sudafed are all okay during pregnancy. If in doubt I would ask your doctor though.

kbushby - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) i just google it and a womens midwife said she could take it. im working on nasty cold number two and what i have been taking to make it bearable is robitussin and i take some tylenol.. thats what i did with my first pregnancy also.. good luck, feel better soon.
