Answer by Dr. Ru: About Nitrendipino [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation
It is excreted into breast milk in clinically non-significant amount possibly due to its high plasma protein binding capacity. Evidence on other antihypertensive drugs of the same family with similar structure, pharmacokinetics and action profile (nifedipine, nimodipine, nicardipine) has shown that they are excreted into milk in non-significant amount. Until more extensive published data about this drug regarding breastfeeding are available a safer alternative drug should be used, especially during the neonatal period and/or in case of premature infants.
Answer by DrLact: About Nitrendipino [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation
Based on limited data, it is unlikely that Nitrendipino [INN-Spanish] will reach the infant in clinically important amounts. However, it may be preferable to use another agent drug for which more safety information is available.
