I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

You can take it no problem.
