I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Cytogen? Is Cytogen safe for nursing mother and child? Does Cytogen extracts into breast milk? Does Cytogen has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Cytogen influence milk supply or can Cytogen decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the use of Cytogen during breastfeeding; however, the drug has been given safely to neonates intravenously.[1][2][3] An alternate intravenous iron product with more published data on breastfeeding available may be preferred. Pasteurization of milk by the Holder method reduces the concentration of iron in milk by about 6.5%.[4]
