Answer by DrLact: About Cordioxil usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Cordioxil in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. If the mother is to receive Cordioxil intravenously, avoidance of breastfeeding for 2 hours after the dose will lessen the dose the infant receives.
