Does Halofantrine has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Halofantrine influence milk supply or can Halofantrine decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Halofantrine usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of halofantrine during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1]
