Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Polythiazide usage in lactation

If polythiazide is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Intense diuresis with large doses may decrease breastmilk production.

Polythiazide Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Polythiazide 2 mg was given twice daily for 8 days beginning within 24 hours of delivery to suppress postpartum lactation. Patients also had breast binding for at least 10 days and fluid restriction. The authors reported that this technique was effective in 124 cases reviewed.[1] There are no data on the effects of diuretics on established lactation.
