First seen May 16, 2026 ยท Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how common malaria medications travel from a mother's blood into her breastmilk and then to her nursing baby. Researchers will take blood and milk samples from 30 breastfeeding mothers being treated for uncomplicated malaria, plus tiny heel-prick blood samples from their infants. The goal is to learn how much drug reaches the baby, which can help doctors give safer treatment advice for breastfeeding mothers with malaria.
