What to know or do

Combination cold and pain products may contain the same ingredient more than once. Do not stack brands without comparing every active ingredient.

What changes the answer

  • The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
  • Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
  • Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
