Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it.

Hemostatic drug which has a possible protective effect on the capillary wall along with correction of altered platelet adhesion.
It is used in Menometrorrhagia (Lethaby 2013), prophylaxis on surgical wounds and neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage without a solid evidence of its effictiveness (Hunt 2010, Kuperman 2015).
It is orally, intramuscularly and intravenously administered every 4 - 6 hours for 3 - 4 days.

Its high capacity of binding to plasma proteins makes it unlikely a excretion into breast milk.
Due to low frequency and mildness of eventual side effects and/or absence of interference with coagulation mechanisms, seems unlikely this product would affect breastfeeding or the infant.
