Oral administration, before meals, three times a day.

We did not find published data regarding the excretion of this substance through breast milk at the time this last update was completed.

Its pharmacokinetic characteristics (very high plasma protein binding and a short half life) make it very unlikely its excretion into breast milk in significant amounts.

Diet, exercise, and breastfeeding improve blood sugar levels.

Alternatives

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
