Tusq D syrup contains Dextromethorphan and Phenylephrine, which are commonly used in cold and cough medications. These drugs are generally not recommended during breastfeeding as there is limited evidence on their safety for breastfed infants. Phenylephrine, in particular, may reduce milk production and could have adverse effects on the baby.
I would advise against using this medication while breastfeeding. Please consider using safer alternatives like honey-based syrups, saline nasal drops, or steam inhalation for cough relief. However, for a more accurate assessment, it is essential to understand your complete medical history and symptoms.
Feel free to consult me for a better evaluation and treatment plan or contact me via WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one double three two.
