Sudafed (the regular kind) is "ok" to take during pregnancy for a short period of time if needed. Sudafed PE is not safe to take during pregnancy.
I went to get my Sudafed and picked it up and took it back to work with me and got ready to take it and something made me look at the box again.
There, under the price tag label was the "PE". YIKES!
Why would Pfizer make their boxes so damn similar on two totally different drugs? I am not a stupid person but being all muddle headed and stuffy-sick, I simply grabbed the wrong stuff and would have taken it.
This is what I mean.
Safe during pregnancy
Not safe during pregnancy
Now, put a price tag on the PE and you'll see how it could be mistaken, right?
So frustrating....
