Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use CGP 33101? Is CGP 33101 safe for nursing mother and child? Does CGP 33101 extracts into breast milk? Does CGP 33101 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can CGP 33101 influence milk supply or can CGP 33101 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About CGP 33101 usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of CGP 33101 during breastfeeding and because it is potentially toxic to the breastfed infant, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
