A member asked:
Can i take ducolax laxative tablets if i am breast feeding ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The active ingredient in ducolax is poorly absorbed from the gut and reaches negligible levels in the blood or breast milk. There are no known ill effects on breast feeding infants. See:medications and mothers milk, hale, 2010.
