Quinfamide

Compatible

Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Antiamoebic agent with intraluminal action.

At latest update no published data were found regarding breastfeeding.

Its low intestinal absorption makes it highly unlikely the passage of significant amounts into breast milk as well as it would not be absorbed by the infant intestine.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Quinfamide since it is relatively safe.

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. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
