Can I take 999 Ganmaoling during breastfeeding?

It is not recommended to take 999 Ganmaoling on your own during lactation. This medication contains ingredients such as paracetamol and chlorpheniramine maleate, which may pass into breast milk and affect the infant's health, potentially causing drowsiness or gastrointestinal discomfort in the baby. If cold symptoms are severe and medication is necessary, consult a doctor first and use only under professional guidance—do not take it blindly.

Among the components of 999 Ganmaoling, chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that may adversely affect the infant’s nervous and digestive systems. Although paracetamol is relatively safe, excessive use may increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. After intake by a nursing mother, the drug can be transferred to the infant in small amounts through breast milk, posing potential risks.

Medication use during breastfeeding should follow the principle of caution. Avoid self-administering compound cold medicines. If medication is necessary, choose drugs with minimal impact on the infant under medical supervision, strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage, and consider extending the interval between doses and breastfeeding to reduce potential effects on the infant.

During a cold, ensure adequate rest, drink plenty of warm water to promote metabolism, maintain a light and easily digestible diet, consume more vitamin-rich foods to boost immunity, keep indoor areas well-ventilated for fresh air, stay warm to avoid worsening symptoms, and minimize close contact with the infant to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
