Chloraseptic Sore Throat Lozenges- benzocaine and menthol

[llldk2]

Hi all,
Just need to know if there is any info about these being used when pregnant. I have a mom who is not far along and needing to use something for a sore throat.

Thanks,
Diane

There seems to be minimal risk of using these two (menthol and benzocaine) in pregnancy. However, is it really worth ANY risk at all. I suggest not.
