I didn't know what this was so I googled it and it seems to be an antihistamine for hayfever or allergy???
According to this website its not advisable unless directed by her doctor

The safety of this medicine during pregnancy has not been established. IT SHOULD BE AVOIDED DURING PREGNANCY, unless the potential benefits to the mother outweigh any possible risk to the developing baby. This is particularly important during the first and third trimesters. As with all medicines, SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE from your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant.
This medicine may pass into breast milk. It should be avoided by breastfeeding mothers unless the potential benefits to the mother outweigh any possible risk to the nursing infant. As with all medicines, seek medical advice from your doctor before using this medicine if you are breastfeeding
So in short, no she should not take it unless she has express permission from her doctor.
