Hello,

Let me tell you that the main ingredient of Ascoril -D is dextromethorphan and it should be used during pregnancy only when it is very important and when benefits clearly outweigh risks.

So far as wikoryl is concerned it contains chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine apart from paracetamol.

If possible,try to avoid vikoryl and for cold and cough you should take steam inhalation with Sinarest Vapocaps put into the steaming water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
