Can Chuanbei loquat syrup be consumed during lactation

breastfeeding women can generally follow the doctor's advice to take Chuanbei Loquat Syrup, but should avoid self medication. Chuanbei loquat syrup is composed of traditional Chinese medicine such as Chuanbei mother and loquat leaves. It has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of wind heat cough.

Chuanbei loquat syrup contains alkaloids in Chuanbei mother and saponins in loquat leaves, with a generally cool medicinal effect. If lactating women experience symptoms such as sore throat, thick phlegm, and wind heat cough, the use of this medicine can help alleviate the symptoms after being diagnosed by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The amount of drug ingredients entering breast milk is relatively small and has little impact on infants, but it is still recommended to take the medication immediately after breastfeeding or choose to take it before the baby sleeps for a long time to reduce potential risks. Some lactating women with weak and cold constitution may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, after taking it. Syrup contains sucrose, so patients with diabetes should be cautious. If the cough persists for more than a week without relief, or is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and chest pain, immediate cessation of use and medical attention should be sought. The use of drugs during lactation should strictly follow the guidance of doctors, and avoid the combination with traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations containing toxic ingredients such as aconite and nux vomica.

When coughing occurs during lactation, it can help relieve symptoms with snow pear stewed Sichuan shellfish, Luohanguo tea and other therapeutic formulas. Keep indoor air moist and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. If other cough suppressants need to be used, the doctor should be informed of the breastfeeding situation to avoid drug interactions that may affect the baby's health. Observe whether the baby has abnormal reactions such as drowsiness and rash after breastfeeding. If any abnormalities occur, seek medical attention promptly and adjust the medication plan.
