Patient's question:
Will the motherwort affect milk production? If you use motherwort, how should it be used? What will happen after eating it?Doctor's answer:
The Xiacao ointment is mainly composed of Xiacao and supplemented with honey. It has the functions of clearing the liver, resolving stagnation, cooling heat and detoxifying, resolving phlegm and stopping cough, and cooling blood to stop bleeding. It can dilate blood vessels, reduce vascular permeability, lower fragility, and reduce liver fat. It has clinical efficacy for simple goiter. The Xiacao ointment has few side effects. As long as patients who are breastfeeding use it in moderation, it generally has no effect on the child. Before taking any medication, patients can use a breast pump to express milk for later use. Breast milk should be given to the child for as long as possible. Breast milk can be given 3 hours after taking the medication. During this period, patients should drink more water. Patients can also take the medication according to the doctor's instructions.
