About this trial
Pharmacotherapy for lactating women in Hungary presents a unique challenge. While certain medications may pose risks to the infant or reduce breast milk production, the unnecessary avoidance of treatment can also be harmful. Despite this, no dedicated Hungarian website currently provides guidance on the safe use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications for breastfeeding mothers.
To address this gap, the aim is to develop a website that not only meets clinical standards but also presents essential information in a clear, accessible format that helps mothers understand and retain key details by choosing the best medium.
Our main question is: What is the most effective way to educate lactating women about OTC medication use through an online platform?
