Does Taking Gestrofit During Breastfeeding Affect The Baby?
I did not have my periods after delivering my first baby last June month. He is 8.5 months old now. My doctor has advised to take gestrofit tablet. But i am still breastfeeding my baby. I wanted to know if taking this tablet will affect my breastfeeding?

Hi,
It can be taken safely while breastfeeding. Although gestofit can be secreted into the breast milk however its amount is not significant enough to harm the nursing infant and hence unlikely to affect the breastfeeding.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
