Can I take Compound Motherwort Capsules during lactation?

In general, women can take Compound Motherwort Capsules during lactation, but this should be done under the guidance of a doctor. The main ingredient of Compound Motherwort Capsules is motherwort, which has functions of promoting blood circulation to regulate menstruation and diuretic and anti-edema effects. It is commonly used to treat gynecological conditions such as menstrual disorders and dysmenorrhea. However, during lactation, attention should be paid to the effects of the drug's components on milk secretion and infant health.

As this medication is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation with relatively mild ingredients, it generally does not have adverse effects on the quality of breast milk or the infant's health. However, to ensure safety, lactating women are advised to consult an obstetrician or gynecologist first. The doctor will comprehensively evaluate whether the patient is suitable for taking this medication based on her specific condition, including physical status, severity of symptoms, and milk production, and provide appropriate medication advice.

Lactating women should be cautious when taking any medication, follow medical instructions, and avoid self-medicating without guidance. At the same time, they should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy diet and nutritional balance, avoiding consumption of raw, cold, spicy, or greasy foods, which may affect the quality of breast milk and the infant's health.
