I guess you must not take any medicine without proven efficacy & usage in special biological conditions as pregnancy. This is a herbal medicine given in Dengue by Wholistic health specialist. Allopaths dont prescribe such meds. Also raw papaya extracts are usually not given in pregnancy because of their bad effects on fetus.
