I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HSDB 8079? Is HSDB 8079 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HSDB 8079 extracts into breast milk? Does HSDB 8079 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HSDB 8079 influence milk supply or can HSDB 8079 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
HSDB 8079 has not been studied in nursing mothers being treated for hepatitis B infection. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. No differences exist in infection rates between breastfed and formula-fed infants born to hepatitis B-infected women, as long as the infant receives hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine at birth. Mothers with hepatitis B are encouraged to breastfeed their infants after their infants receive these preventative measures.[1][2]
