Answer by DrLact: About CCRIS 3719 usage in lactation

Low amounts of CCRIS 3719 in milk and failure to detect CCRIS 3719 or its metabolites in the urine of 2 older infants indicates that it would not be expected to cause adverse effects in older breastfed infants. Because there is no published experience with CCRIS 3719 during breastfeeding in the newborn period, shorter-acting agents may be preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
