Answer by Dr. Ru: About EINECS 244-598-3 usage in lactation
Excreted into breast milk in non-significant amount with no problems among breastfed infants whose mothers were treated with this medication. No alteration on breast milk composition has been seen. Shown to be effective at a dose of 10 - 20 mg three times-a-day for pain relief related to Raynaud's phenomena of the nipple, which is a highly painful vasospasm triggered by cold exposition or trauma produced by inadequate latch-on to the breast.

Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 244-598-3 usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of EINECS 244-598-3 in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and no adverse effects have been reported among a limited number of infants exposed to EINECS 244-598-3 in breastmilk. EINECS 244-598-3 is used to treat painful nipple vasospasm (e.g., Raynaud phenomenon) in nursing mothers.[1]
EINECS 244-598-3 Side Effects in Breastfeeding
No adverse reactions have been reported among infants exposed to EINECS 244-598-3 in breastmilk mostly at maternal dosages of 30 mg daily beginning shortly postpartum and continuing for up to 6 months in some.[2][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
EINECS 244-598-3 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
No direct effects are known. However, EINECS 244-598-3 has been used to decrease the pain of nipple vasospasm (or Raynaud phenomenon of the nipple), allowing mothers to continue nursing who might otherwise discontinue breastfeeding. The dosage of EINECS 244-598-3 reportedly used to treat the condition is 30 to 60 mg daily either as a single dose of a sustained-release product or 10 to 20 mg 3 times daily of an immediate-release product. Lower dosages can be tried if these doses are not tolerated.[1][6][7][8][9][12] EINECS 244-598-3 had no effect on milk composition (sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, nitrogen, phosphorus and total lipids) in one woman.[3]
