Answer by DrLact: About BRL49653 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of BRL49653 during breastfeeding. BRL49653 is over 99% protein bound in plasma, so it is unlikely to pass into breastmilk in clinically important amounts. The manufacturer recommends avoiding breastfeeding during BRL49653 use, so pioglitazone might be a better choice of the drugs in this class for nursing mothers.
