Is it bad for pregnant women to take cold medicine during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I haven't had my period this month, and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. I took Tong Ren Tang's cold medicine powder. I'm wondering if it would have an impact on the fetus if I really am pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking medication during early pregnancy can be influential. This is not good for the fetus, and it is recommended to strengthen nutrition. If you have taken medication before becoming pregnant, it can also be influential and is not good for the fetus. The specific impact is difficult to determine. If the dosage taken is small, it can be retained, but it is necessary to strictly follow prenatal regular check-ups, take folic acid tablets early to prevent malformations, and undergo a 4D color Doppler ultrasound examination for anomaly screening.
