Can I use Latisse while breastfeeding?

There haven't been any studies done, but I always think it's good idea to err on the side of caution. Therefore, I would advise you to not use latisse until you are done breast feeding your child. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Latisse is a prescribed drug and it's always best to delay trying anything new, especially a drug, until you've had your baby and are no longer breast feeding unless it's medically necessary.

While this is not a question which can be studied scientifically, we generally suggest that our patients avoid using unnecessary products during the time they are breast-feeding.

Latisse is listed as "Safety Unknown" with regards to lactation. This means that there is inadequate literature available to assess risk; caution is advised. This basically translates to the fact that no one has ever done a study (or likely ever will) to see if the chemical compound is present in breastmilk or if there are any adverse effects of it if it were present. In these cases, I always advise that it is better to be safe than sorry and I would not use the product while breastfeeding. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.No, do not use Latisse while pregnant or breastfeeding.To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation.I hope this helps.

It is best to avoid any unnecessary medications and treatments while pregnant and breast feeding.  Lumigan is listed as questionable use in lactation.  So just to be on the safe side, I would avoid it.

Thanks for the question. This is a question that we get alot. There are no studies available but there is potentially a very small risk so best to avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. All the best! 

Although no cases show that Latisse may affect breastfeeding, It may be best to wait until after nursing is done before considering using this product. 

It is not known whether Latisse (i.e. bimatoprost) is excreted in human milk (the studies in humans have not been done). Theoretically, I'd be concerned about transmission in breast milk. In animal studies,  it does appear that the main compound bimatoprost is, in fact, excreted in breast milk.   It is not recommended that Latisse be used during breastfeeding.        

There has not been enough research done on pregnant or nursing women while using Latisse. I would recommend waiting until you are no longer nursing to use Latisse or other medical grade beauty products.
