Summary

The investigators propose to study the transfer of benznidazole into breastmilk from the blood of lactating women who receive the drug for the treatment of Chagas disease. Breastmilk and blood samples will be obtained from these patients at given times after they take the clinically indicated medication, and the concentrations in both matrices will be compared to estimate degree of transfer, which in turn will be used to evaluate potential degree of exposure of infants breastfed by these women. This study will help clarify safety of continuing breastfeeding while receiving treatment with benznidazole for Chagas disease.
