Answer by DrLact: About AI3-50216 usage in lactation

An expert panel considers use of AI3-50216 to be acceptable during breastfeeding.[1] Maternal AI3-50216 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 AI3-50216. There is no need to avoid AI3-50216 products; however, keep maternal serum concentrations in the lower part of the therapeutic range and monitor the infant for signs of AI3-50216 side effects. Infant serum AI3-50216 concentrations can help to determine if signs of agitation are due to AI3-50216. Avoiding breastfeeding for an 2 hours after intravenous or 4 hours after an immediate-release oral AI3-50216 product can decrease the dose received by the breastfed infant. When AI3-50216 is given as an oral sustained-release product, timing of nursing with respect to the dose is of little or no benefit.

AI3-50216 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 AI3-50216 in breastmilk. Another five infants reported in this paper showed no adverse reactions after maternal AI3-50216 ingestion.[3] Accumulation of AI3-50216 in infant serum appears most likely in neonates and premature infants because they eliminate AI3-50216 slowly.[2][5]
