May a mother who is breastfeeding take mybulen for a headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe: This is a combination medication. Of the 3 components, some concern is raised about the codeine, which does transfer to baby & can result in sedation or respiratory depression in some. For most it is safe at the usual recommended dose.
