I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HSDB 7476? Is HSDB 7476 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HSDB 7476 extracts into breast milk? Does HSDB 7476 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HSDB 7476 influence milk supply or can HSDB 7476 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 7476 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of HSDB 7476 during breastfeeding. HSDB 7476 is indicated for use in infants over 3 months of age and it is poorly absorbed orally, so it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. However, no published experience exists with HSDB 7476 during breastfeeding, therefore an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
