Answer by Dr. Ru: About BM 02015 usage in lactation

Loop diuretic. Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs (particularly those Thiazides with long lasting effect and loop-acting drugs) may inhibit lactation. Use a lower dose as possible, especially during the first postnatal month.

Answer by DrLact: About BM 02015 usage in lactation

Because no information is available on the use of BM 02015 during breastfeeding and because intense diuresis might decrease lactation, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

BM 02015 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Relevant published information on BM 02015 was not found as of the revision date. Intense diuresis, fluid restriction and breast binding have been used to suppress lactation immediately postpartum.[1][2][3] The added contribution of the diuretic to the other measures, which are effective in suppressing lactation, has not been studied. No data exist on the effects of loop diuretics on established, ongoing lactation.
