A member asked:

Doctor has prescribed me with glucophage xr 500mg twice a day due to insulin resistance and to prevent gaining weight, does glucophage affects baby while breastfeeding? im breastfeeding my baby at the moment.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: This medication is well studied in breastfeeding mothers and is considered safe for the baby. Negligible amounts (<1%) are found in the breast milk and no effect on the baby has been noted.
