Is Diethylcarbamazine citrate (Banocide Forte) safe to take for a persistent cough during the second trimester (16 weeks) of pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 29 · 2 months ago

It is wonderful that you are being so careful about what you take. Diethylcarbamazine citrate (Banocide Forte) is actually an antiparasitic medication, not a cough medicine, and it is generally not recommended during pregnancy. For a persistent cough, it is safest to avoid this medication. I highly recommend speaking with your OB/GYN or healthcare provider. They can help identify the root cause of your cough and recommend safe, soothing remedies that are completely safe for you and your baby.
