What would you recommend? by kannan https://padlet.com/marikannan/7padaj2epdkf en-us 2015-09-14 05:26:27 UTC 2025-10-13 05:58:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/marikannan/7padaj2epdkf/wish/123647155 She can continue to breastfeed her baby. Sumatriptan is generally safe during breastfeeding because it has poor oral bioavailability and low transfer into breast milk. Thus, it is not expected to have adverse effects on the breastfed infants. 

Otherwise, she can withold breast feeding for 12 hours. 

Tolfenamic acid 200mg PRN can be offer if she worried about the safety of sumatriptan]]> 2016-09-14 01:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marikannan/7padaj2epdkf/wish/123647155
