Can I take ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution while breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Ambroxol can promote sputum clearance and improve respiratory conditions. Because the drug can enter breast milk, it should be used with caution in breastfeeding women. The half-life of ambroxol is 7-12 hours, so you can breastfeed 12 hours after taking the medication. This can reduce the impact on the baby.
