Hi, Barb: I am afraid I don't know this medication. However, in these
situations I usually look for a safe alternative. You say it's a diuretic
but you don't say why she is taking it. Regardless, if she needs a diuretic
for high blood pressure or for bloating, etc, it is preferable that she use a
very commonly used, tried and true diuretic which is safe with breastfeeding,
such as hydrochlorthiazide. Hope this helps. Regards, Alicia Dermer, MD,
