GP prescribed me that when i’m heavily pregnant in my third trimester. The usual chlorpheniramine and paracetamol for runny nose and fever. The only difference is the cough syrup. They prescribed me cough tablets instead of syrup as it’s said to be safer for pregnancy.

Doctor prescribed it to me when I was down with Covid. I did check with him if it's safe for pregnancy, and he assured me that it was okay.

I saw a respiratory specialist who said that’s the safest to take so I took when I was pregnant :)

Chloropheniramine was what the doctor prescribed me when I was pregnant and sick.

my GP prescribed tt to me for runny nose.

I got cetarizine which is safe for pregnancy

Yes. Paracetamol is the only medication gp usually give
