The main indication for taking "Pharingosept" during lactation is a sore throat. Thanks to the main component of the drug - ambazon - it is well tolerated and acts locally.
In this regard, it is not contraindicated for nursing mothers, because the percentage of drug transfer to the baby's body is very small.
Inflammation in the throat is not a reason to stop breastfeeding. The period of lactation and pregnancy is not indicated among the contraindications of the drug. But it is recommended to take it only on prescription.
"Pharingosept" - a drug that is used as a prophylaxis and for the treatment of infections of the mouth and larynx. Experts treat it positively and often prescribe it to women during breastfeeding.

Composition and principle of action of the drug
Before you know if Faringosept is allowed during lactation, you need to determine what the composition of the drug is.

Specialists have proven that when using Faringosept during lactation, the natural microflora in the mouth is not disturbed. This distinguishes it from antibiotics. The drug does not fight infection, it is used as an antiseptic and disinfects the surface of the mucous membranes of the tonsils, throat and oral cavity.
The drug is effective in combination with antiviral drugs. This is due to the fact that throat diseases are usually associated with exposure to an immune-compromised body.

- Gingivitis. The main symptoms are gum inflammation in the form of swelling, redness andbleeding.
- Stomatitis. The main symptoms are inflammation of the oral mucosa.
