Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-50VV3VW0TI usage in lactation

One case of cyanosis (blue skin discoloration), bradicardia, hypotermia and hypotension in a 5-days old girl whose mother was on 50 mg every 12 hours was reported. It does concentrate in breast milk. Several reports have shown excessive excretion to mother's milk.

Answer by DrLact: About UNII-50VV3VW0TI usage in lactation

Because of UNII-50VV3VW0TI'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 UNII-50VV3VW0TI in breastmilk. Timing breastfeeding with respect to the time of the UNII-50VV3VW0TI dose appears to be of little benefit in reducing infant UNII-50VV3VW0TI exposure because the time of the peak is unpredictable.[3]

UNII-50VV3VW0TI 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 UNII-50VV3VW0TI, 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 UNII-50VV3VW0TI in breastmilk. Her mother was taking UNII-50VV3VW0TI 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 UNII-50VV3VW0TI in an average oral dosage of 49 mg daily. This finding indicated that the infants were experiencing no beta-adrenergic blockade from UNII-50VV3VW0TI in breastmilk.[3] Other authors have reported 15 infants aged 3 days to 2 weeks exposed to UNII-50VV3VW0TI in breastmilk with no signs of adverse effects. Maternal dosages were 50 or 100 mg daily.[5][6][7][13][15][16][18]

UNII-50VV3VW0TI Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

One unusual case of oligomenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea was reported in a 38-year-old woman who had been taking UNII-50VV3VW0TI for about 18 months. Prolactin values returned to normal within 3 days of discontinuation of UNII-50VV3VW0TI. Galactorrhea slowly lessened and disappeared one month after UNII-50VV3VW0TI discontinuation.[19]
