Answer by DrLact: About Coversyl usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that only low levels of Coversyl and its active metabolite are found in breastmilk, which is consistent with other drugs in this class. Amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
