Hi,
Taking combined pills while breastfeeding is not good for your baby's health and it may decrease the milk production also.
But you can take Progestogen-only pills while breastfeeding safely. The above drug contains Levonorgestrel so you may take it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
