Is it allowed to take Isosorbide Mononitrate 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.

I have to be satisfied with the drug because it completely alleviates the angina pectoris. I discontinued it because of headaches 3 years ago; but have started again because it works: 100%. But headaches are constant. Hope they decrease with time.
