Is W 6309 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use W 6309? Is W 6309 safe for nursing mother and child? Does W 6309 extracts into breast milk? Does W 6309 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can W 6309 influence milk supply or can W 6309 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About W 6309 usage in lactation
No information is available on the ophthalmic use of W 6309 during breastfeeding. Because absorption from the eye is limited, ophthalmic W 6309 would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.
