DM cough medicine and pregnancy?
My stepmother has been taking DM childrens dose cough medicine, her doctor recommended it to her. But my dad went to the store last night and was told by the cashier that there is an ingredient in it that teen age kids have been using to make a certain drug, and that my step mom should NOT be taking it while she is pregnant, because it can ruin the sack that the baby is surrounded by.
My dad asked if the man was a doctor and he said no, but that he used to work in a hospital. He told my dad that my stepmom should ask the doctor again if it is ok to use this.
She is also mixing antidepressents with it, which the bottle says you should not be doing, does anyone know if this could be a major problem?
I already have done research on the anti depressents and I have found that there have been a number of studies and they don’t seem to have any affects on the growing fetus.
I sould say that the cashier said that she should check with the doctor again because he (the doctor) doesn’t seem to know what he is talking about.

You ask, “Does anyone know . . . ?”
There can be only two possible answers to that question:
Somebody knows
or
Nobody knows.
Certainly there must be someone out there who knows.
So my answer is a resounding
YES!!
But is that what you really were asking about?
Maybe you wished to determine HOW MANY people know?
