Hi XXXXXXX
Nexpro L contains levosulpiride 75 mg and esomeprazole 40 mg.

Thank you. I have also been asked to take udiliv 300 twice a day with 1 tablet of nexpro. This is due to sludges in my gall bladder. This treatment is for one month. Hence wanted to reconfirm on the tablets as I am lactating mother.
Brief Answer:
udiliv also can be taken
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
How much udiliv excreted in breastmilk that is not known. No specific problem has been found. But any drug should be used with care in lactating mother.If it is going to be used for a month, regular assessment of the baby should be done to prevent any harm.
If your gall bladder problem is not so severe , take low dose or postpone the treatment plan until your baby starts enough weaning.
However ultimately treating doctor is the best judge for using medicines considering risk benefit ratio of using drugs.
All the best .
