Can I Take Celestamine For Sinusitis, Sore Throat During Pregnancy?

Good day doctor.

I am just over 26 weeks pregnant, and have sinusitis, sore throat, chesty...my GP has prescribed Celestamine among other meds. Just wanted to make 100% sure that I am allowed to take Celestamine while pregnant? It is a 5 day course.

Please advise as I am a bit worried...I have already taken two out of the 5. And they seem to make me drowsy when I take them at night. Just hope it will not affect my baby
