Is Lianhua Qingwen safe for pregnancy?

Hi. I’m currently recovering from covid and have been told The TCM Lianhua Qingwen Jiaonang helps recover faster. However I was not able to find sufficient studies if it’s safe for pregnant woman. Anyone has any experience?

hi there, I'm in week 34 preggy here and so far, I had covid twice (dueing this pregnancy). A personal opinion here, for me, 1) anything that is not proven safe for pregnant women, 2) regardless of what others tell me or experience personally, as long as they are not a gynae, 3) i have doubts 👉 I don't consider it for consumption at all. hope it helps 😉

This is not even safe for normal individuals, all the more for pregnant women. Please don’t take this! There are many medical reports showing that this is quite harmful for liver especially if the individual belongs to high risk group.

Better don’t as my TCM doc says that the ingredient for this meds is extremely cooling effect so in fact, she doesn’t even recommend woman who are not preg to eat it unless u are having really high fever during covid.

my TCM said same thing to me when I got covid. when my tcm got covid, she also never take this.

Wouldn’t recommend taking it. I had 2 friends who took and had allergy. It isn’t even 100% safe for males or normal individuals, so I wouldn’t risk taking it during pregnancy.

better not. cos the ingredient contain high mecury

no chinese herbs during pregnancy

No. don't take it.

No!
