A member asked:

Is mucinex (guaifenesin) and zyrtec okay during breastfeeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably Safe: Guafenesin (mucinex) has some evidence of safety during breastfeeding while Cetirizine (zyrtec) has not been studied. Both are typically safe for use in children though so are unlikely to cause any issues.
