ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on helping breastfeeding mothers in Hungary understand how to safely use over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Many women need to take medicine while breastfeeding, but they may be unsure which ones are safe for their babies. The goal of this study is to create a user-friendly website that provides clear and helpful information about OTC medications, making it easier for mothers to find the guidance they need.

To participate in this trial, you must be a woman over 18 who is either in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy or has recently given birth (within the last week) and plans to breastfeed. You also need to have access to the internet. Participants will help researchers determine the best way to present this important information online. Overall, the study aims to ensure that mothers can make informed decisions about their health and their baby's safety while breastfeeding.
