Is It Safe To Give Lactogen While Breast Feeding?

My baby is 2 weeks old. She is continuously breast fed. But she is not satisfied with breast milk. When the baby seems unsatisfied with breast milk, we feed lactogen to her 3-4 times a day each time about 30-50 ml per feeding. Is it under safe limit? Is lactogen safe for baby? If yes, then how much?
