Is Colchicine safe for breastfeeding mothers?

Doctor's Answer

I do agree with what Dr Ethan and Dr Jasmine have written about the risk of colchicine in breastfeeding.

For treatment of oral lichen planus, there are many other treatment options available apart from colchicine and you should speak to your doctor and raise your concerns about the use of colchicine while you are breast-feeding and explore if alternative options are available for you.
