Is Pitrex Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Pitrex? Is Pitrex safe for nursing mother and child? Does Pitrex extracts into breast milk? Does Pitrex has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Pitrex influence milk supply or can Pitrex decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Pitrex usage in lactation
Topical Pitrex has not been studied during breastfeeding and no data are available on the extent of its absorption after topical application. Because it is probably poorly absorbed after topical application, it is considered a low risk to the nursing infant. Avoid application to the nipple area and ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated. Only water-miscible cream, gel or liquid products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[1]
