I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, dinitrate, D-? Is Glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, dinitrate, D- safe for nursing mother and child? Does Glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, dinitrate, D- extracts into breast milk? Does Glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, dinitrate, D- has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, dinitrate, D- influence milk supply or can Glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-, dinitrate, D- decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
The amount of nitrates in breast milk is not related to level of contamination in drinking water (ingest <100 mg/day of nitrate do not produce milk with elevated nitrate levels). By this reason, breastfed babies from regions with nitrate contaminated water do not have increased risk of Metahemoglobinemia like bottle-fed babies do. The amount of nitrate compounds contained in vasodilator medication is so small that no problems have been reported while breastfeeding.
