Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Moxidectina usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Moxidectina during breastfeeding. However, amounts in breastmilk appear to be low and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. If Moxidectina is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, until more data become available, Moxidectina should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
