Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
There is problem in using Domstal if you were prescribed that medication.
There are no major side effects, and you can use it for another 3 months, till you exclusively breast feed the baby.
However, you can also try gradually decreasing the dosage and switching to natural alternatives , such as -
Drinking lots of fluids, atleast 5 litres per day.
Have a glass of milk / water directly before feeding the child.
Consume lots of saunf, methi, spinach, jeera.
Take Satavarex granules.
Relax and meditate.
If you feel that inspite of all these measures, you still need Domstal, you can take it without worries.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
