Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 7374 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of HSDB 7374 (pHSDB 7374) during breastfeeding. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency consider HSDB 7374 to be safe and effective during breastfeeding when used as directed. It should be used by breastfeeding women to avoid exposure to mosquito-borne viruses.[1] Avoid application directly to the nipple and other areas where the infant might directly ingest the product.
