Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Myogrel usage in lactation

No published information is available on the use of Myogrel during breastfeeding. The manufacturer reports that no adverse effects have been observed in breastfed infants with maternal Myogrel use during lactation in a small number of postmarketing cases. If Myogrel is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, since no published information is available on the use of Myogrel during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Alternate Drugs

Clopidogrel
Abciximab(Low Risk)
Pentoxifylline(Safe)
Aspirin(Low Risk)
Clopidogrel
