Does anyone know where I can find out if Tylenol cold meds are safe during pregnancy?


I am 11 weeks pg. I also have a horrendous cold- stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing constantly... does anyone know if Tylenol cold & Flu is safe for me to take, or do you have a resource I can check out to find out? I can't see my dr till Monday and I need some relief from this cold! I am losing my voice, and can't just sleep it off, because I have a 4 yo son at home too... I get sinus infections a lot, so I would like to get this cold under control before it becomes a sinus issue... a list of meds I can take safely during pregnancy and a backup source would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You can take Tylenol for the acheness, and you can use Halls Fruit breezers- but only a few for the sore throat and cough. Use Salene(sp?) Nasal Spray for the stuffy nose- it is only salt water and doesn't bother you or the baby. The salene nasal sray will clean out your sinus and help prevent an infection... my ENT suggest I use it everytime I get congested, and I havent had a sinus infection for a while. These help and wont hurt the baby.

Hope you feel better.
i was told you could take Tylenol cold and sinus. you can take sudafed. if you can't see your doc just call your clinic and talk to a triage nurse or an ob nurse they will be able to tell you what you can take also.
I know that Tylenol is supposed to be safe, but I'm not sure about Tylenol cold products. Talk to a pharmacist. They can tell you if a certain drug is rated safe for pregnancy or not. That's what I usually do. If you have a drug plan, sometimes a prescription med is cheaper than an otc, and they can also tell you if there's an otc version or generic version that would do the same as a prescription, but be cheaper.
Your local OBGYN would certainly know.
Ask your doctor, as a doctor would be the only person truely qualified to answer this question.
it's on the bottle or call your doctor...
ASK YOUR DOCTOR!!!
