My doc said plain robitussin wen I caught a head col a couple of weeks ago. I had it really bad. Extreme headache & congestion, chills,very mild fever of n on. So I took the PLAIN ROBITUSSIN... Once every 4hrs, showered in the mornings n wiped up at night((because u will pick up another draft if u dnt have on the heat & temp drops@night)) covered my head,chest,back,&belli at ALL TIMES. My BF RUBBED ME UP WITH SOME VICKS TO help me sweat it out n loosen up my congestion... ALot....alot of orange juice + H20+ chicken soup. Wrap up!!.it took me a week & 2days to recover. After Ur over Ur sickness... Change Ur bedding!!!!.keep me posted on Ur status mama!!!!

I've not heard of them, but they have to put on the packaging if its not safe, or it will say consult a doctor if pregnant. Best thing to do is ask the pharmacist and they will give you something which is safe to take.
