Moderately safe. Probably compatible.
Mild risk possible. Follow up recommended.
Read the Comment.

A drug to which the ability to reduce capillary permeability is attributed. Used to treat diabetic retinopathy and hemorrhoids.
Administered orally in two daily doses.

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk, although the manufacturer indicates negligible excretion in breastmilk (OMPharma 2018, AEMPS 2017).

As there is less published information than for other drugs from the same group, safer known alternatives may be preferable during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.
