Answers (1)

Tab hicet ax contains cetrizine with ambroxol. Any medication should be avoided as far as possible in first 12 weeks. If medication has to be given chlorpheniramine,would be better choice over cetrizine. However cetrizine may be used. Ambroxol is safe.
Next Steps
Taking steam and drinking lots of fluids and rest
Health Tips
Consult your gynaecologist if any contractions appear after medication.
