Is Benylin syrup compatible with breastfeeding?

It is important to carefully read the ingredients in any medication before taking it while breastfeeding. Some ingredients, like dextromethorphan (DM), may be safe for short-term use, but it is best to check with a pharmacist to ensure there are no interactions with other medications you may be taking. Avoid syrups with decongestants while breastfeeding. Consider using nasal saline solutions like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse for nasal congestion. For throat pain, lozenges like Halls or Fisherman's Friend, as well as Tylenol or Advil, can provide relief. Drink plenty of liquids – either cold or hot – to help soothe your throat.
