Hi my name is Kathy and I would like to know if while I am pregnant I can take an over the counter Homepathic medicine called Sniffles 'n Sneezes 4 kids. I've administered this medicine to my daughter before and it really helped her. I know I am not a child but I really hate taking perscribed medication due to all the side effects.

The ingredients are as follows:
Aconitum Napellus 6X HPUS
Allium Cepa 6X HPUS
Galsemium Sempervirens 6X HPUS
Zincum Gluconicum 2X HPUS in a base of Lactose N.F.

It states that it's free of Pseudoephedrine, Acetaminophen and has no sleepy side effects.

The maker is Hyland's.

If there is another Homeopathic medicine I can take please let me know or if it's okay to take this please let me know as well.

Thanks a million.

Hi mskathyromero,

While pregnant I personally wouldn't take any over the counter meds unless my physician knew and said it was ok. Good Luck in your pregnancy.

Agree with Purple98Lady. I don't recommend taking these remedies, because you have no guarantees that the list of ingredients is comprehensive or accurate, and they have not been tested for safety in pregnancy and nursing.
