Is strepsil safe in pregnancy?

Question

Sore throat since two days and i keep reaching for strepsil but then putting it back. Im 7 weeks along. Anyone took it in early pregnancy?

Vinita Rawal · Answer

Try gargles first. For lozenges ask your doctor.

Himani Krishnakumar · Answer

Even a throat lozenge, just confirm with your gynac once na. Quick message and they tell you. Better than guessing.

Tulsi Babu · Answer

Beta for a sore throat i always say warm salt water gargle and honey in warm water first, very soothing. Those medicated lozenges better ask your doctor before sucking on them. No need for medicine for a small throat.

Falak Wadhwa · Answer

Lozenges have active ingredients so i wouldnt pop them freely in pregnancy. Gargling and warm fluids handled my throat just fine. If it really persists, ask your gynac which lozenge is okay.
