Breastfeeding allergy pills are prescribed to alleviate the condition of a young mother who is faced with impaired immunity after pregnancy and childbirth. At this moment, a woman is most sensitive to various kinds of allergens, which, in the absence of adequate treatment, can provoke severe reactions of the body, up to Quincke's edema.
