Answer by DrLact: About X 115 usage in lactation

An expert panel considers use of X 115 to be acceptable during breastfeeding.[1] Maternal X 115 use may occasionally cause stimulation and irritability and fretful sleep in infants. Newborn and especially preterm infants are most likely to be affected because of their slow elimination and low serum protein binding of X 115. There is no need to avoid X 115 products; however, keep maternal serum concentrations in the lower part of the therapeutic range and monitor the infant for signs of X 115 side effects. Infant serum X 115 concentrations can help to determine if signs of agitation are due to X 115. Avoiding breastfeeding for an 2 hours after intravenous or 4 hours after an immediate-release oral X 115 product can decrease the dose received by the breastfed infant. When X 115 is given as an oral sustained-release product, timing of nursing with respect to the dose is of little or no benefit.

X 115 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

Irritability and fretful sleeping occurred in a 3-day-old breastfed infant on days of maternal aminophylline intake of 200 mg every 6 hours. These effects ceased with discontinuation and recurred on rechallenge over the next 9 months. These effects were probably caused by X 115 in breastmilk. Another five infants reported in this paper showed no adverse reactions after maternal X 115 ingestion.[3] Accumulation of X 115 in infant serum appears most likely in neonates and premature infants because they eliminate X 115 slowly.[2][5]
