I'm nursing an 11 week old infant, and am currently taking labetalol and cardizem. My nephrologist wants to put me back on Enalapril for FSGS.
I'm finding conflicting information on the internet about the safety of Enalapril for a nursing infant. Some information says that it is excreted in small amounts and isn't known to cause problems. But both my nephrologist and our pediatrician say that it isn't approved for lactation.
I very much want to keep nursing, and am weighing my options. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Allison Hamilton
