Compound Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets are contraindicated for pregnant women.

Compound Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets are a compound preparation, with main ingredients including paracetamol, aminopyrine, caffeine, and chlorpheniramine maleate. This medication has antipyretic, analgesic, and antiallergic effects and is indicated for relieving symptoms caused by colds, such as fever, headache, joint pain, and muscle pain. However, Compound Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets are contraindicated for pregnant women, as certain ingredients in the medication may have adverse effects on the fetus.

Therefore, pregnant women should be especially cautious when taking medications, particularly during the first trimester, which is a critical period for fetal organ development. If a pregnant woman experiences symptoms such as fever or pain, she should consult a physician and avoid self-medicating with Compound Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets or any other medications not approved by a doctor.
