I had gone through your query.
No dear it is not advisable to take pin x while you are pregnant or doing breast feeding.
It is not safe for your baby and avoid during breast feeding.
You can take alternative likr albendazole.
it can be treated with albendazole 400 mg once every night for 3 days in breast feeding women or you can take single dose and repeat after 10 days

Take advise from your physician if require.
