VigRX and Breastfeeding

There is no reason why women should take VigRX, breastfeeding women included. It is currently not known whether the active components of the supplement are safe (or unsafe) for women who are breastfeeding. Several of the active ingredients may theoretically affect certain hormones or increase the risk of bleeding, both of which could cause serious problems in a breastfed infant.

Talking With Your Healthcare Provider

Each woman's situation is different, and you and your healthcare provider understand your situation best. After considering what you want and expect, as well as your current health situation, you and your healthcare provider can make a shared decision about which medications and supplements are appropriate in your particular situation.
