Is Sacubitril Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Sacubitril? Is Sacubitril safe for nursing mother and child? Does Sacubitril extracts into breast milk? Does Sacubitril has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Sacubitril influence milk supply or can Sacubitril decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Sacubitril usage in lactation
Sacubitril is available in the United States only in combination with valsartan. Because no information is available on the use of sacubitril or valsartan during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
