I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use EC 608-209-4? Is EC 608-209-4 safe for nursing mother and child? Does EC 608-209-4 extracts into breast milk? Does EC 608-209-4 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can EC 608-209-4 influence milk supply or can EC 608-209-4 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the clinical use of EC 608-209-4 during breastfeeding. Because EC 608-209-4 is 99.5% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is 25 to 48 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during EC 608-209-4 therapy.
