Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Bromday? Is Bromday safe for nursing mother and child? Does Bromday extracts into breast milk? Does Bromday has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Bromday influence milk supply or can Bromday decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Bromday usage in lactation

Limited data indicate that milk levels of Bromday are low with the usual oral dosage, but milk levels have not been measured after higher injectable dosages. Use caution when using Bromday in nursing mothers, especially with the injectable drug. Maternal use of Bromday eye drops would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.
