Could you use tuscosed linctus if are pregnant?

Tuscodsed Linctus is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Tuscodsed Linctus contains both codeine and ephedrine.

Codeine has not been shown to cause any adverse effects in pregnant women; however, it can cross the placenta and reach the fetus. As a precaution, it is recommended to avoid taking codeine during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester, and when breastfeeding.

There is limited information on the safety of ephedrine during pregnancy. Some studies have suggested an association with an increased risk of neural-tube defects and other cardiovascular abnormalities. Because of these potential risks, it is generally recommended to avoid taking ephedrine during pregnancy.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any medication, including Tuscodsed Linctus. Your doctor can provide you with advice on the safest and most effective treatments for your condition.
