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

Excreted into breast milk in non-significant amount with no problems among breastfed infants whose mothers were treated with this medication. No alteration on breast milk composition has been seen. Shown to be effective at a dose of 10 - 20 mg three times-a-day for pain relief related to Raynaud's phenomena of the nipple, which is a highly painful vasospasm triggered by cold exposition or trauma produced by inadequate latch-on to the breast. Side effect on the mother should be addressed. American Academy of Pediatrics 2001: Maternal Medication Usually Compatible With Breastfeeding. Eleventh WHO Model List of Essential Drugs 2002: Compatible with breastfeeding.

My blood pressure dropped from 188/109 to 95/66 I normally take the medication before bed. I am in so much pain today, I have developed heartburn, it is horrible and wakes me up from sleep, I felt lethargic, hot, and started having random episodes of chest pains.

I was given this medication to try after being on methyldopa to lower my blood pressure. I only took one dose and had a severe reaction. I took it at bedtime and did not sleep well. When I woke up I had a severe headache,my blood pressure went up to 155/106 and my heart rate went up to 120 just standing. In addition I had hot flashes and facial flushing. Called my doctor about this and he told me to double my dose. I wont be taking this again!!!
