Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HSDB 332? Is HSDB 332 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HSDB 332 extracts into breast milk? Does HSDB 332 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HSDB 332 influence milk supply or can HSDB 332 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 332 usage in lactation

Because of the possibility of absorption of salicylate from the breastmilk by the infant, alternatives are preferred.[1]

HSDB 332 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

One case report of metabolic acidosis was caused by salicylate in a 16-day old breastfed infant whose mother was taking aspirin 650 mg every 4 hours for arthritis.[3] However, there was no measurement of salicylate in maternal serum or milk and it is unclear whether the infant had received any salicylate directly.
