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

Answer by DrLact: About Savaysa usage in lactation

Because no information is available on the use of Savaysa during breastfeeding and the drug is orally absorbable, an alternate drug is preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1][2][3]
