Hi, can I take the benylin extra strength all in one syrup if I am breastfeeding? Thank you

Hello,

Regarding Benylin extra potent, the ingredients may vary depending on the type (Cough, congestion, All in one etc.)

But if we look at ingredient by ingredient:

Dextrometorphan (DM), for dry cough: short term safe.

Pseudoephedrine, decongestant: safe, discontinue use if after a few days you observe a change in milk production or irritability of the baby.

Guaifenesin (expectorant): safe

Acetaminophen: safe

Chlorpheniramine, antihistamine: safe, discontinue use if after a few days you observe a change in milk production or drowsiness in the baby.

In short, all the ingredients are safe as long as the prescribed dose is respected and on a short term basis.

I hope I have answered your question.
