Answer by DrLact: About Eudigox usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Eudigox 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 Eudigox intravenously, avoidance of breastfeeding for 2 hours after the dose will lessen the dose the infant receives.
