Can a feeding mother take nexito 5, will it affect baby's health? I feed my 6 months baby 2 hour after taking this medicine at night, is it okay or do I need to stop taking this med? One more thing can a schizophrenic who is breastfeeding mom take treatment as the medicine must be heavy for the baby?

Hi. Yes you can take nexito 5 mg maintaining 2 hour gap after breastfeeding the baby. You can further consult your psychiatrist for how much time you need to take the medications. Part 2. Schizophrenic patients need to take their medications regularly whether breastfeeding baby or not. Same rule maintaining 2 hour gap between drug dose and breastfeeding. Important thing here is which medications are safe in breastfeeding. For that you must ask the same from your consulting psychiatrist.
