Question:
My daughter is 12 weeks pregnant and is taking Diclectin. She has a pulse rate of 100 which is higher than usual for her. Also, she is experiencing some shortness of breath on exertion. Could this be caused by Diclectin?
Answer:
Diclectin contains an anthistamine and Vit b6. The symptoms you
described have not been associated with the use of this drug, however
your daughter should discuss these symptoms with her doctor, if she is
concerned
