Answer by DrLact: About Cariprazine usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of cariprazine during breastfeeding. If cariprazine is required by the mother of an older infant, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
