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

Ergot derivative alkaloid. It may inhibit prolactin secretion. It is used together with other substances (e.g. caffeine, which is a cause of anxiety). Multiple drug association is not recommended. On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. Sumatriptan which is a drug with well known low excretion into breast milk should be an alternative treatment for Migraine.
