A member asked:
Hi, my doctor has given me setraline and ive read the leaflet and it says to ask your doctor about taking it when breastfeeding, is it ok to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: The effects of depression on the current and future well-being of your baby and yourself can be profound. Sertraline is the 1st drug of choice for breastfeeding moms since it is undetectable in the baby. Researchers actually recommend you start with a dose that effectively treats your depression, not a smaller dose to protect the baby. Risks from being depressed are worse than any risks from drug
