Hello
Thanks for writing to us.

Since Wikoryl is medicine with combinations. I would suggest when you are pregnant or breast-feeding you should only use levocetirizine if there is a clear benefit outweighing the possible risks.
Though there are no direct effects of Wikoryl to the infant, if taken once or twice by mother.
Don't repeat it.

Thanks
Dr. Tripat Mehta
