Pregnant cold/flu safe medications

2018-02-24 08:29:59
My girlfriend is roughly 17-18 weeks pregnant for little over two weeks. shes been pretty sick (cold/flu) symptoms. The doctor prescribed her amoxicillin twice every 12 hours. Sadly her cough has not gotten any better. The local women's clinic has Robitussin plain DM as a safe medication, i bought Robitussin Cough+chest Congestion DM sugar free /alcohol free Formulated for diabetics is this safe for her to take? Thank you

HELLO, TAB ZIFI 200 TWO TIMES A DAY, IS MUCH BETTER THAN AMOXICILLIN. COUGH SYR PRESCRIBED IS OK. ONE NATURAL BLACK COFFEE WITH TWO TEASPOON FULL OF HONEYN N TWO PINCHES OF CINNAMON TWO TIMES IN MORNING N NIGHT CAN CURE ANY TYPE OF COUGH, NO HARM, FULLY SAFE. OK.
