A mother (with a 5 months infant) had side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine. She accidentally took one capsule (5 mg) of Sobelin (Flunarizine) before consulting the lactation consultant. Her infant is exclusive breastfeeding and she did not pump - only breastfeed her infant. According to Hale's Medications and Mothers' Milk (2021), Flunarizine is L4 and the half-life is 19 days. It is very difficult to manage this case to continue breastfeeding without your help. If the waiting time should be 19 days, this mother will face with difficult time. Thank you so much for your suggestion.
