Is Coversyl Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Coversyl? Is Coversyl safe for nursing mother and child? Does Coversyl extracts into breast milk? Does Coversyl has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Coversyl influence milk supply or can Coversyl decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
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.
