Is it suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
There is no general recommendation without medical evaluation. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Zinc may decrease the absorption of tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics; vitamin C may increase iron absorption. In chronic treatments, consider potential interactions with the healthcare team.

Adverse reactions are rare at recommended doses, but digestive discomfort, a metallic taste, or allergic reactions may occur in people sensitive to propolis. Excess vitamin C can cause osmotic diarrhea; excess zinc can cause nausea and affect copper balance.
