Is Pentostam Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Pentostam? Is Pentostam safe for nursing mother and child? Does Pentostam extracts into breast milk? Does Pentostam has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Pentostam influence milk supply or can Pentostam decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Pentostam usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that maternal doses of Pentostam up to 1.4 grams daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants,[1] especially if the infant is older than 2 months. However, if withholding nursing during therapy is elected, breastfeeding can be reinstituted 24 to 48 hours after the last dose.
