Brief Answer:
It gets secreted in breast milk

Detailed Answer:
Hi....the drug you are taking can get secreted in the milk. It might cause the platelets to loose their adherence capabilities and may put stress on the immature kidneys... But these are at very large doses.
Usually at therapeutic doses nothing will happen.

Only one suggestion...use it not regularly but only when required... Thatis am asking to tolerate the pain till the maximum eextent possible and then only take it. Don't take it round the clock.
