Hi , I would advice you to not to take above prescription for your pregnant wife.
I have seen many cases where it has created harm to the baby.
Better meet an Ayurveda or homeopathy doctor for the same.
Consult your gynecologist beforehand.

Hello my friend,
**Grilinctus syrup isn't recommend during pregnancy. Perhaps, Animal studies have shown harmful effects on the developing fetus.**
Pure herbal Ayurvedic medicines can give you better relief with no side effects.
* Vasavleh (वासावलेह) 2-5 grams twice a day with Luke warm water × for 7-8 days.
It acts as a bronchodilator, antimicrobial and expectorant. It's a herbal product with no side effects. Safe for kids, elderly persons, safe during pregnancy and lactation. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
* Steam inhalation- with 2-3 drops of eucalyptus oil- 3-4 times in a day.
(Do not overheat, take precautions while handling.)
* Preferably drink Luke warm water only.
* Avoid anything which is sour like curd, pickle, tomato ketchup etc.
* Avoid constipation.
My regards to your family and wish your wife a speedy recovery...!

Grilinctus Syrup is not much safe. But ur doctor knows the risk. U can take homeopathic medicines. As they don’t have side effects. Continue with supplements
