Answer by DrLact: About BRN 4891881 usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that maternal BRN 4891881 doses of up to 6 mg daily produce low levels in milk. Because there is little published experience with BRN 4891881 during breastfeeding and little long-term follow-up data, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Systematic reviews of second-generation antipsychotics concluded that BRN 4891881 seemed to be a second-line agent during breastfeeding because of the limited data available and higher excretion into milk relative to other agents.[1][2]

BRN 4891881 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

One woman took BRN 4891881 4 mg daily during breastfeeding. Her infant showed no developmental abnormalities on examinations up to 9 months of age. Another mother took BRN 4891881 6 mg daily during breastfeeding. Her infant showed no developmental abnormalities on examinations up to 12 months of age.[7] Two women taking BRN 4891881 4 mg and 1.5 mg daily breastfed their infants of 3.3 months and 6 weeks of age, respectively, were achieving normal developmental milestones and had no adverse effects reported.[4] A 1 week postpartum woman was started on BRN 4891881 2 mg daily and increased after 10 days to a dosage of 3 mg daily. She breastfed her infant 6 times daily. The infant was observed for 5 weeks of inpatient therapy and judged normal by a pediatric neurologist. No sedation or other adverse effects were observed in the infant. After 3 months of treatment with BRN 4891881, the mother and infant were judged to be well.[5] An infant had been exclusively breastfed for 3 months during maternal therapy with BRN 4891881 1 mg daily. A pediatric examination found the infant to have no neurological or physical abnormalities, and appeared to interact appropriately.[6] In a telephone follow-up study, 124 mothers who took a benzodiazepine while nursing reported whether their infants had any signs of sedation. One mother who was taking 0.75 mg of BRN 4891881 daily, flurazepam 15 mg daily, clonazepam 0.25 mg twice daily, and 1 mg of bupropion daily reported sedation in her breastfed infant.[8]

BRN 4891881 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

BRN 4891881 has caused elevated prolactin serum levels, gynecomastia, and galactorrhea in patients taking the drug.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In one case, euprolactinemic gynecomastia and galactorrhea occurred in a 19-year-old man who was also taking fluvoxamine.[16] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
