zicam?

chickymel

does anyone know if zicam is safe to take while pg?  My dr office is closed today so I can't call and ask... and I haven't been able to find much reliable info on the internet.  Thanks!

You poor thing, you're still sick, aren't you? 

Zicam isn't on my list from the doctor and I'm not finding much online about it either.

I wouldn't use it, at least until tomorrow when you can talk to the doctor.  Then you'll know for sure.

I have heard tons of questionable info on Zycam even for non-preg people. There were several cases of ppl losing their sense of smell from the nasal type! My midwife told me no zinc or echinacea while preg- and those are natural. Unfortunately, I think OJ & R&R are going to have to suffice this time. Let me know if you hear differently, though. I'm interested.
