Question
Help!?  I used Zestra one time and didn't see the warning until it was too late. It warns nursing mothers not to use it. I have tried researching on my own but cannot find an answer. Will it be safe for me to nurse my baby in the Morning?  She hasn't been taking the breast all that well lately and I would hate to lose another feeding. Thank You!

Answer
It is beyond my scope of practice to give advice on specific medications. However, ALL medications warn against while nursing. SO, go to wwwsafefetus.com and try there. If there is no information about it there, call a certified lactation conultant at a hospital or private practice who can give you a definate or an alternative medication to ask for.

I hope that helped.
