Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Stibatin usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that maternal doses of Stibatin 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.
