Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Kerydin usage in lactation

Topical Kerydin has not been studied during breastfeeding. Because blood levels are very low after topical application to the toenails, it is unlikely that a measurable amount of the drug will enter the breastmilk.
