Is ZYN002 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use ZYN002? Is ZYN002 safe for nursing mother and child? Does ZYN002 extracts into breast milk? Does ZYN002 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can ZYN002 influence milk supply or can ZYN002 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About ZYN002 usage in lactation
ZYN002 has not been studied in nursing women taking the pharmaceutical product. ZYN002 has been detected in the breastmilk of some mothers who used cannabis products recreationally.[1][2] If ZYN002 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, since no information is available on the use of ZYN002 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
