Here's an article I found in my surf around the net. Thought it was interesting.
Robitussin and Birth Defects
If you are using Robitussin or similar drugs and trying to achieve pregnancy, PLEASE READ THIS PAGE. Note that the drug implicated, Dextromethorphan, is in some but not all cough syrups.
The Couple to Couple League (CCL) has always stressed the limited use of PLAIN Robitussin (guaifenesin, generic), without other ingredients, in those rare cases where it may improve cervical mucus enough to increase chances of conception. DON'T GUZZLE IT ALL CYCLE LONG TO "GUARANTEE" CONCEPTION.
Other ingredients have no beneficial effect on fertility, and may be harmful, as the message below implies. Please consult your doctor and NFP teachers before trying it...

well there is another one saying it is not true: There is no way of showing that Robitussin caused the cleft palate on that woman's child or any other woman's child. The relavent fact is that she now blames herself for causing her child's cleft. I don't intend to be mean or harsh to you. I found your article to be good, as I stated above. I only ask you to alter the document so that you recommend against using Robitussin to increase fertility, or possibly just don't mention Robitussin or other potentially harmful drugs for which you do not know the side effects in your report. Also, please use your influence on the web to get the word out that a study has linked Robitussin to Birth defects. This information is vitally important because families are following your advice in their attempts at becoming pregnant.
SO NOT SURE COULD BE JUST FALSE ALARM,,,
