Medication and Breastfeeding: Hansepran 100 Capsule contains Clofazimine, which can pass into breast milk in small amounts. It is generally considered safe for breastfeeding, especially when the infant is older than 6 months.
Age of the Baby: Since your baby is 12 months old, breastfeeding while on Hansepran is usually acceptable. However, monitor for any adverse reactions in the baby.
Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Discuss with your doctor or pediatrician to ensure breastfeeding is safe in your specific case, considering your health and treatment plan.
Watch for Side Effects: If you continue breastfeeding, observe your baby for any signs of allergic reactions, rash, or unusual symptoms and report them promptly.
In summary, breastfeeding while on Hansepran 100 Capsule is generally considered safe for a 12-month-old baby, but always confirm with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring.
