Is Sulfidal Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Sulfidal? Is Sulfidal safe for nursing mother and child? Does Sulfidal extracts into breast milk? Does Sulfidal has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Sulfidal influence milk supply or can Sulfidal decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Sulfidal usage in lactation
Sulfidal 5% to 10% in a petrolatum base is safe for topical use in children, including infants under 2 months of age.[1] This makes it a useful alternative to organic insecticides for treating scabies in nursing mothers; however, the petrolatum base makes undesirable for use on the breast.
