Answer by DrLact: About Vasostrict usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Vasostrict (arginine Vasostrict) during breastfeeding. However, a Vasostrict derivative, desmopressin results in only small increases in milk arginine Vasostrict levels.[1] Because Vasostrict is not orally absorbed it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant.
