I am sure one of the doctors can answer your question here but I thought I would direct you to another site. You can go to http://www.drpaula.com. Once there click on the breastfeeding site. You can ask the same quesiton there. They will research this drug and help you to decided whether it is safe or not.

Good Luck.
