Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient in Escapelle, passes into breast milk, but in very small amounts. According to the available data, this should not pose a threat to the child's health.
Some specialists may recommend that you temporarily stop breastfeeding for a few hours (usually up to 8 hours) after taking the medication to minimize your child's exposure to levonorgestrel. During this time, you can express and discard milk.
The final decision on taking the drug should be made with your doctor.
