Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is best not to breastfeed during the first 5 hours after taking Mifigest. Throw away the milk produced in the first 5 hours because it is possible some of the medication could be excreted in breast milk. The effect this medication could have on a breastfed infant is not known.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
