Introduction
Breastfeeding women may use Xigua Shuang (Watermelon Frost) throat lozenges cautiously, but should do so under the guidance of a physician.

These ingredients are generally considered relatively safe and typically do not affect the quality of breast milk.

Generally, Cucurbita Semen Lozenges can be used cautiously during lactation, but it is important to take them under the guidance of a doctor. The specific analysis is as follows:

Cucurbita Semen Lozenges mainly contain ingredients such as Cucurbita Semen (watermelon frost), borax, Phellodendron bark, Coptis, Sophora root, Belamcanda rhizome, and others. They have functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and can be used to alleviate symptoms such as sore throat and hoarseness. These ingredients are generally considered relatively safe and usually do not significantly affect the quality of breast milk, nor are they likely to pass into breast milk and cause adverse reactions in infants.

However, due to individual differences, some lactating women may be more sensitive to certain ingredients or may experience gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea after taking them, which may indirectly affect milk production. If a nursing mother experiences symptoms such as a sore throat, she should first consider drinking more water, getting more rest, and adjusting her diet to help relieve symptoms.

If symptoms are severe and the use of Cucurbita Semen Lozenges becomes necessary, consult a doctor or pharmacist first. During use, strictly follow the dosage and administration instructions provided in the product leaflet; do not exceed the recommended dose or use for prolonged periods. At the same time, closely monitor both your own and your baby's reactions, and discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if any abnormalities occur.
