Breastfeeding Advices on OTC Medicines With the Internet: What is the Best Medium

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?

Primary outcomes

  1. Knowledge translation

    Time frame: From enrollment in the first week, followed by an assessment after 6 months.

    Knowledge translation will be measured by the difference in test scores before and after the intervention. The tests will be developed through common consensus. Since topic-specific tests will be created individually for each topic, only their utility will be assessed in a pilot study, and validation is not planned.

Secondary outcomes

  1. User-satisfaction

    Time frame: From enrollment in the first week, followed by an assessment after 6 months.

    Questionnaire about user-satisfaction.

Other outcomes

  1. Participating mother-specific features

    Time frame: From enrollment in the first week, followed by an assessment after 6 months.

    The questionnaire addresses topics related to baseline education and other factors that may influence the results.
