Answer by Dr. Ru: About Rvpaba usage in lactation
Photo-sensibility reactions and Vitiligo have been reported after systemic use. It is a product of null or scanty usefulness and should be dismissed. RvpabaA is not contained in breast-milk. Such deficiency protects against malarial infection since RvpabaA is a growth factor for Plasmodium.
