Lemsip while pregnant

Hi guys,

Are you allowed to have Lemsips when pregnant? My throat is killing me and it’s the only thing that usually helps! If not what can I have?

Thanks

No I don’t think you can theres nothing really you can take when pregnant apart from paracetamol 🤦‍♀️ warm drinks will be your best friend!! Xx

No you can’t, try just hot lemon and honey to soothe your throat xx

My GP told me that the main thing in lemsip that makes you feel better is paracetamol, which you can take on its own, so I would just take that.
