Can I take Tylenol Cold and Sinus while breastfeeding?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Tylenol Cold and Sinus contains pseudoephedrine, which can in some cases decrease milk production. For this reason, and the fact that other solutions are available and safer, I do not recommend using this medication if you are breastfeeding.

The best solution for nasal congestion, runny nose, and coughing among others, is to clean the sinuses with a saline solution. Several products such as Hydrasense and Sinus Rinse can be used for this purpose as often as needed during the day.

I hope that I have answered your questions adequately, and I remain available if you have any other questions!
