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

Psycho-stimulant used for treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. Although a high plasma protein binding makes excretion into breast milk likely very low, until more information concerning breastfeeding is available, a safer alternative is preferred.
