Anyone using Orlistat while breastfeeding?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I'm really keen on losing weight after having had a baby 2 months ago. I've used Orlistat before and it's been with great results. I'm currently breastfeeding exclusively so not sure if it's wise to start on the tablets again or not??!

    I'm fairly sure they aren't to be used when breastfeeding I'd seek advice from the Dr before starting them

    Definitely ask your doc or nurse first, I don't think you're meant to use them when breastfeeding x
