I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone? Is 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone safe for nursing mother and child? Does 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone extracts into breast milk? Does 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone influence milk supply or can 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Because no information is available on the use of 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone during breastfeeding and it is orally absorbed, an alternate drug is preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Australian guidelines recommend against breastfeeding during 1,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone treatment.[1]
