Information

The Ricard is an alcoholic drink made from aromatic plants and alcohol. Most doctors agree that it is preferable for pregnant women to avoid any alcoholic drink, including the Ricard. Indeed, alcohol can cross the placental barrier and reach the fetus, which can cause congenital anomalies. Although not drinking alcohol throughout pregnancy is the best option, specialists said that if a pregnant woman has already drank alcohol before knowing that she was pregnant, she should not be worried over measure. Therefore, it is best not to consume Ricard during pregnancy. If you have any questions about what you can and cannot eat during pregnancy, you should talk to your doctor.
