I would like to take Neocitran (hot drink) but I am concerned about the impact on my breast milk.

The user asked if it is safe to take neocitran while breastfeeding. The response was that the ingredient phenylephrine, a decongestant in neocitran, can decrease milk production by up to 24% for 4-6 hours after taking the medication. It is recommended to avoid phenylephrine and instead opt for acetaminophen or ibuprofen/naproxen for throat pain. Additionally, a comforting alternative to neocitran is ginger slices in hot water with honey and lemon.
