LEVIPIL AND NURSING

2016-12-01 12:19:47
Hello, I am taking levipil 1gm since 4 years. Recently I hd a child and she is 2 months old. I want to know that taking levipil while breastfeeding will have any side effect on my child? I have read on the net that it passes through human milk and the infant may feel dizziness so it is not recommended to nursing mothers. So should I stop using it or should reduce to 500mg. Please reply asap. PLEASE NOTE: I did not experience any attack since 4 years.

A small amount passes to the infant through breastmilk. Infant serum levels are about 7 % of maternal serum levels. There are reports that this has not caused any effects to the infant. There are also few reports that it has caused poor weight gain in the infants and poor milk output.So keep a track on the growth of the infant. Meanwhile consult your neurologist to discuss regarding continuation of medicines.
