Is Quinapril Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Quinapril? Is Quinapril safe for nursing mother and child? Does Quinapril extracts into breast milk? Does Quinapril has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Quinapril influence milk supply or can Quinapril decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Quinapril usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of quinapril in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
