At latest update no published data were found on excretion into breast milk. Evidence on other antihypertensive drugs of the same family with similar structure, pharmacokinetics and action profile (nifedipine, nimodipine, nicardipine) has shown that they are excreted into milk in non-significant amount.Its high plasma protein binding capacity makes it highly unlikely a passage into milk.A low oral bioavailability hinders the passage from ingested milk toward the infant’s plasma except in case of premature babies and/or in the immediate neonatal period, in which an increased intestinal permeability may appear. Until more extensive published data about this drug regarding breastfeeding are available a safer alternative drug should be used, especially during the neonatal period and/or in case of premature infants.

Because no information is available on the use of nisoldipine during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred.
During whole lactation period you shall first discuss with your doctor and then together you shall decide whether you shall take that drug or not however if you have already taken Nisoldipine Tablet, Film Coated, Extended Release then you shall inform your doctor, But you should not be worried too much as Nisoldipine Tablet, Film Coated, Extended Release comes in category of low risk drug.
Though Nisoldipine Tablet, Film Coated, Extended Release dose not comes in category of safe drugs rather it comes in category of low risk but if your doctor is aware that you are breastfeeding your baby and has still recommended it then its advantages must be outweighing the risks.
