I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Somatonorm? Is Somatonorm safe for nursing mother and child? Does Somatonorm extracts into breast milk? Does Somatonorm has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Somatonorm influence milk supply or can Somatonorm decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Because Somatonorm is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. However, there is no published experience with Somatonorm during breastfeeding, so an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. However, the closely related recombinant human growth hormone, somatropin, has been reported to increase milk production.
