I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HSDB 8074? Is HSDB 8074 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HSDB 8074 extracts into breast milk? Does HSDB 8074 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HSDB 8074 influence milk supply or can HSDB 8074 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 8074 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of HSDB 8074 during breastfeeding. Because of the extremely short elimination half-life of HSDB 8074 (<2 minutes) from the body, use of HSDB 8074 either as albumin microspheres or lipid microspheres is acceptable in nursing mothers.[1] Because of the lack of information, the American College of Radiology states that temporary (~24 hours) pumping and discarding of milk may be considered.[2] However, this recommendation appears to be excessively cautious.
