A member asked:
Does lasix (furosemide) in breastmilk affect infant growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Furosemide may decrease breast milk volume by causing dehydration in the mother, which could decrease infant growth. It is excreted into human milk and may inhibit lactation. There are no reports of adverse effects in nursing infants. The manufacturer recommends that caution be used when administering Furosemide to nursing women.
