Any medications containing ephedrine, including Actifed or similar medications, should be avoided during pregnancy. Ephedrine may have harmful effects on the fetus, causing developmental problems or other serious consequences. During pregnancy, it is best to consult your doctor to ensure you are using safe medications. If you have a cold or other illness, you should choose a medication that is approved by your doctor rather than one that contains ephedrine. Staying in good physical condition and getting enough rest are also important factors in maintaining health during pregnancy. Avoid contact with any substances that may be harmful to pregnancy, and always seek help from your doctor. It is vital to take care of yourself and your developing baby.
