I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, 6-chloro-17-hydroxy-1-alpha,2-alpha-methylene-, acetate? Is Pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, 6-chloro-17-hydroxy-1-alpha,2-alpha-methylene-, acetate safe for nursing mother and child? Does Pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, 6-chloro-17-hydroxy-1-alpha,2-alpha-methylene-, acetate extracts into breast milk? Does Pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, 6-chloro-17-hydroxy-1-alpha,2-alpha-methylene-, acetate has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, 6-chloro-17-hydroxy-1-alpha,2-alpha-methylene-, acetate influence milk supply or can Pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, 6-chloro-17-hydroxy-1-alpha,2-alpha-methylene-, acetate decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Progestogen with antiandrogenic properties that is used for the treatment of conditions with hypersexuality, prostate carcinoma, transsexualism and, together with ethinyl estradiol, for hirsutism, acne and alopecia and hyperandrogenism in women. It is excreted into breast milk in small quantities (Stoppelli 1980), but their anti-androgenic effects could be clinically significant for the infant when doses of 50 milligrams per day or higher are used. The small amount (2 mg) contained in contraceptive tablets in which it is combined with ethinyl estradiol would represent a very low risk and would be compatible with breastfeeding.
