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

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor which acts within the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed, reducing intestinal absorption of glucose. Very low risk of hypoglycemia in monotherapy. Miglitol is excreted in breast milk in minute quantities (Serrano 2014, Pfizer 2012, AEMPS 2009) reaching a relative dose much less than 1%. Diet, exercise, and breastfeeding improve blood sugar levels.
