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

Thiazide diuretic. Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs (particularly those Thiazides with long lasting effect and loop-acting drugs) may inhibit lactation. Use a lower dose as possible, especially during the first postnatal month. American Academy of Pediatrics: Maternal Medication Usually Compatible With Breastfeeding.

my dosage 1/2 tablet per day lowers BP almost too low. Dizziness upon standing, upset stomach. Coated tablets are nearly impossible to split equally.
