Indeed, PTU is safe to take during pregnancy, especially in the early stages, as long as your doctor prescribes it and keeps an eye on it. You shouldn't abruptly stop using it. If you have a severe cough or asthma, Seretide Accuhaler is generally safe, but only use it if your doctor has recommended it.
