Brief Answer:
Do not use Primolit N while breastfeeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi.... please do not use Primolit N as you are breastfeeding. Scientifically it is very well known that the hormone preparation in the tablet will be secreted into the milk. But the hormonal influences on the baby are not well established. So I suggest you not to use Primolit N as you are breastfeeding now.
