Is Guanabenz Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Guanabenz? Is Guanabenz safe for nursing mother and child? Does Guanabenz extracts into breast milk? Does Guanabenz has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Guanabenz influence milk supply or can Guanabenz decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Guanabenz usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of guanabenz during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
