Is Perindopril Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Perindopril? Is Perindopril safe for nursing mother and child? Does Perindopril extracts into breast milk? Does Perindopril has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Perindopril influence milk supply or can Perindopril decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Perindopril usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that only low levels of perindopril 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.
