Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 257-937-5 usage in lactation
EINECS 257-937-5 is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. No information is available on the use of EINECS 257-937-5 during breastfeeding. Because of its long half-life of 19 days in children, expert opinion recommends that EINECS 257-937-5 not be used in migraine prophylaxis.[1][2][3] An alternate drug is preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
