Pudilan Xiaoyan tablet is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine composed primarily of herbs such as dandelion, skullcap, bitter chicory, and isatis root. It has functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing inflammation, and relieving swelling. Breastfeeding women who develop pharyngitis, tonsillitis, or symptoms such as fever and sore throat caused by viral infections can usually be treated with Pudilan Xiaoyan tablets. When taken during lactation, small amounts of the drug components may pass into breast milk; however, the concentration secreted in milk is very low and generally does not affect the infant.

At the same time, medication should be strictly taken according to the doctor’s instructions. Do not increase the dosage or use the drug long-term without medical advice to avoid potential adverse reactions.
