Please don't self-medicate during pregnancy, beta. It is always safest to ask your doctor if this medicine is safe for you.

I never take any medicine without my doctor's direct prescription. Please don't risk it and call your gynac first.

I would literally call my doctor before taking even a simple paracetamol! Please check with your gynac before taking any such medicine.

Don't just pop any random pills from your cabinet! Always ask your doctor first, pregnancy is not the time for guesswork.

After my C-section, I realized how important it is to be careful with medications. Do consult your doctor first before taking any cough syrups or pills.
