Is E 2007 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use E 2007? Is E 2007 safe for nursing mother and child? Does E 2007 extracts into breast milk? Does E 2007 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can E 2007 influence milk supply or can E 2007 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About E 2007 usage in lactation
Because no information is available on use of E 2007 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If E 2007 is required by the mother, it is not necessarily a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but monitor the infant for drowsiness, agitation, adequate weight gain, and developmental milestones, especially in younger, exclusively breastfed infants and when using combinations of drugs.
