What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Primosa 1000 During Breast Feeding?
I want to inform you that, I was suffering from pain on my both breast. After consulting with my doctor on dated 29.5.13, and he advise me to take cap. “Primosa-1000” daily (1 cap. ODPC X 3 months) After taking approx 45 days I was feeling better (the lumps are reducing in size in both breast) and all is going well but in the mean time, I got pregnant (first time) in the month of July’ 14. As per discussion with my Genealogist, she asked me to stop the course immediately because no existing course will be continuing during pregency. Then I stop taking the same. Now my baby is 2 months old, and am feeling that the “lumps” are still present both breast with little pain (more big in size & harder) Now may I start taking Primosa-1000 to continue the course? Please advise!

Hello,
The medication Primosa contains 1000 mg of Evening primrose oil is generally recognized as safe, but no medical studies have yet proven that the absolute benefit of the supplementation reducing fibroadenoma or "lumps".
The oil contains few essential fatty acids which may help you reducing breast pain to some extent.
In my view, it is always better to get a breast evaluation done by your family doctor from time to time. If the lump size increase to substantial size it should be removed surgically to avoid pain and discomfort.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
