Is Fml Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Fml? Is Fml safe for nursing mother and child? Does Fml extracts into breast milk? Does Fml has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Fml influence milk supply or can Fml decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Fml usage in lactation
No information is available on the ophthalmic use of Fml during breastfeeding. Because absorption from the eye is limited, ophthalmic Fml 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.
