I was dx with breast cancer in Mar of 2011 and was treated with mastectomy, dose dense AC-T and radiation. My son was born June 2nd of this year and I have just been diagnosed with systolic heart failure due to my BC treatment.
I spoke to Infant Risk and they gave me the info on the two drugs proscribed: enalapril (the ace inhibitor) & metoprolol, both (the beta blocker) L2 meds. However, I am concerned about breastfeeding my son with no information on how taking both, not each separately as they are rated, will effect my almost 5 month old (full term). My cardiologist said no breastfeeding (he did not contact you or look up the information) and separately the meds are ok to take with observation of side effects.
Please let me know if any information is known about the combo of ace inhibitors and beta blockers on breastfeeding infants.
