Will Primolut N Have Any Effect On My Baby Or On My Milk Supply?
Hello doctor,
My doctor has prescribed primolut n 5 mg twice a day as I want to delay my period. I'm going for a trip and I normakl have very painfull periods. I'm currently breast feeding my 1 and half year old son. I would like to know if this will have any affect on my baby or on my milk supply
Hi,welcome to healthcaremagic forum. It is not contraindicated in breast feeding.But high dose(as used for postponement of mensus) may suppress milk output,and also causes unnecessary exposure of the child to progesterone.So it is better to avoid during breastfeeding(though not cause significant problems). I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
