Turmnova Softgel Lozenges contain turmeric extract, eucalyptus oil, and menthol, commonly used to soothe sore throats and relieve coughs; however, their safety during pregnancy has not been well established. While turmeric is generally safe in small amounts as a food spice during pregnancy, medicinal doses found in supplements may pose risks such as uterine contractions and bleeding, potentially increasing the chance of miscarriage or preterm labor. Additionally, eucalyptus oil and menthol can cause allergic reactions or gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. Therefore, pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before using Turmnova Lozenges, as caution is advised to ensure the safety of both mother and fetus when considering this or any supplement during pregnancy.
