Answer by DrLact: About Adrenor usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Adrenor during breastfeeding. Because of its poor oral bioavailability and short half-life, any Adrenor in milk is unlikely to affect the infant. High intravenous doses of Adrenor might reduce milk production or milk letdown.
