Can i take theraflu while breastfeeding?

Speak with your doc: If you have the flu you are contagious and infected. Breastfeeding when ill is difficult and should be discussed with your doctor. It is dangerous to expose an infant to the flu and you should speak with your doctor about appropriate prescription medication and using formula to protect your baby. Feel well soon and I hope your baby stays well.

Caution advised: There is inadequate information in the literature to assess risk. Safety unknown. Caution advised. Suggest not breastfeeding while on Tamiflu (oseltamivir).

Yes you can: Multi System Theraflu contains Acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and phenylephrine. In regards to just breastfeeding these drugs are fine. But I would like to add that Phenylephrine can possibly decrease your production of milk. So nursing might be a little more difficult while on Theraflu.

Not recommended: Theraflu is not recommended to be taken during pregnancy. It is a category c drug which means that there is no direct data linking it to problems in the human fetus, but it has been shown to have adverse effects in animal models. This being said, if you already took it, i would not worry. I just would not recommend taking any more!
