Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Sivextro usage in lactation

If Sivextro is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal tract, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and candidiasis (e.g., thrush, diaper rash). However, because there is no published experience with Sivextro during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
