Hi there from New Zealand,
I have a pregnant Mum on Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, for hepatitis B. She has been advised that she cannot breastfeed once the infant is born. Medications and Mothers' Milk 2010 has the drug as an L3, with no suggested alternatives. I wondered if Dr Hale would now know of any safer alternatives or, concur with not breastfeeding on this medication. Would the foetus not recieve more via the placenta than the infant via breastmilk?
Many thanks
