Does Halofantrina has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Halofantrina influence milk supply or can Halofantrina decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Halofantrina usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of Halofantrina during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1]
