Answer by DrLact: About Mangafodipir usage in lactation

Mangafodipir is a chelate of manganese that releases free manganese ions into the bloodstream after it is metabolized. Because there is no published experience with mangafodipir during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
