Is it allowed to take Isosorbide Dinitrate during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

The amount of nitrates in breast milk is not related to level of contamination in drinking water (ingest <100 mg/day of nitrate do not produce milk with elevated nitrate levels). By this reason, breastfed babies from regions with nitrate contaminated water do not have increased risk of Metahemoglobinemia like bottle-fed babies do. The amount of nitrate compounds contained in vasodilator medication is so small that no problems have been reported while breastfeeding.

Headache, heartburn and mild loss of balance. Usually back to normal with 30 minutes after taking pill.

Medicine caused such severe migranes I forgot about my chest hurting. I had to stop taking the medicine, only took it for 5 days. The headache outweighs the benefit of the medicine to me.
