Once you introduce baby to other foods it is recommended to breastfeed for at least first year of babys life. Taking medication while breastfeeding could be tricky as most drugs pass in breast milk.

Influenzinum consists three active ingredients namely Influenza a virus a/singapore/infimh-16-0019/2016 ivr-186 (h3n2) hemagglutinin antigen (formaldehyde inactivated),Influenza b virus b/maryland/15/2016 bx-69a antigen (formaldehyde inactivated) and Influenza a virus a/michigan/45/2015 x-275 (h1n1) hemagglutinin antigen (formaldehyde inactivated). Our study of all three ingredients suggest that exposure of Influenzinum is mostly safe while breastfeeding.

I already used Influenzinum and meanwhile I breastfed my baby should I be concerned?

Homeopathic medicines usually do not cause harmful effects on breastfed babies. Influenzinum is a homeopathic medicine and if your baby does not have any abnormal symptoms then there is nothing to worry about. Some homeopathic medicines contain alcohol (ethanol) and such homeopathic medicines in high dosage can have bad effect on development of baby.
