Answer by DrLact: About Atenol 1A pharma usage in lactation

Because of Atenol 1A pharma's relatively extensive excretion into breastmilk and its extensive renal excretion, other agents may be preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant or with high maternal dosages.[1][2] Infants older than 3 months of age appear to be at little risk of adverse effects from Atenol 1A pharma in breastmilk. Timing breastfeeding with respect to the time of the Atenol 1A pharma dose appears to be of little benefit in reducing infant Atenol 1A pharma exposure because the time of the peak is unpredictable.[3]

Atenol 1A pharma Side Effects in Breastfeeding

A study of mothers taking beta-blockers during nursing found a numerically, but not statistically significant increased number of adverse reactions in those taking any beta-blocker. Although the ages of infants were matched to control infants, the ages of the affected infants were not stated. Of 13 mothers taking Atenol 1A pharma, one reported lethargy in her breastfed infant; she was also taking other unspecified drugs for hypertension.[17] Cyanosis, bradycardia and hypothermia occurred in a 5-day-old infant probably because of Atenol 1A pharma in breastmilk. Her mother was taking Atenol 1A pharma 50 mg twice daily. Symptoms continued until day 8 when breastfeeding was discontinued.[9] No difference between resting and crying heart rates were observed in 22 breastfed (extent not stated) infants aged 3 to 4 months whose mothers were taking Atenol 1A pharma in an average oral dosage of 49 mg daily. This finding indicated that the infants were experiencing no beta-adrenergic blockade from Atenol 1A pharma in breastmilk.[3] Other authors have reported 15 infants aged 3 days to 2 weeks exposed to Atenol 1A pharma in breastmilk with no signs of adverse effects. Maternal dosages were 50 or 100 mg daily.[5][6][7][13][15][16][18]
