Is Nyquil Soft Gel Safe In Pregnancy?

Can I take generic nyquil soft gels if I am 20 weeks pregnant? Active ingredients - acetaminophen, dextromethorphan HBr, and doxylamine succinate.All three are active ingredients in medications approved by my OB, but the combo was not specifically on my approved list.There does not seem to be any alcohol in the inactive ingredient list either.

In my opinion, they are safe to take during pregnancy. All the drugs in that are approved to take in pregnancy.

Even combo is also OK to take. So, don't worry because that doesn't harm your baby.
