Is Halofantrinum Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Halofantrinum? Is Halofantrinum safe for nursing mother and child? Does Halofantrinum extracts into breast milk? Does Halofantrinum has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Halofantrinum influence milk supply or can Halofantrinum decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Halofantrinum usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of Halofantrinum during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1]
