Imitrex-there are a few risk factors, if you have talked to your doctor and evaluated the risk factors then you can take it but talk to your doctor about the possible concerns first. Most medications do pass to breast milk very few do not. You could also talk to the pharmacist at your local store.

some things you can do watch for:

  • Activities
  • Emotional factors (e.g. stressful situations)
  • Environmental factors (e.g., weather, altitude changes)
  • Foods and beverages
  • Physical factors (e.g., illness, fatigue)
  • Sleep patterns
