Is it safe to take Vicks tablets for a sore throat during the eighth month of pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 25 · 14 hours ago

It is safest to avoid multi-symptom Vicks tablets right now, as they often contain ingredients like oral decongestants that may not be recommended during pregnancy. For a sore throat, warm saline gargles, drinking warm liquids, and steam inhalation are wonderful, safe ways to find comfort. If you need pain relief, plain paracetamol is generally considered safe, but please always consult your obstetrician before starting any new medication.
