Answer by DrLact: About Zyflo CR usage in lactation
No published information is available on the use of Zyflo CR during breastfeeding; however, manufacturer's data indicate that the dose in milk is low. Because there is no published experience with Zyflo CR during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
