Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Moxidectinum usage in lactation

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