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

Potassium-sparing diuretic. On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding were not found. Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs (particularly those Thiazides with long lasting and loop-acting effect) may inhibit lactation. Use the lower dose as possible especially during the first postnatal month.

I believe this medication is causing me nausea and severe diarrhea. It usually happens in the evenings and i cant tell you its not a coincidence and i have some sort of flu but this all started the first day i took it.
