Because there is little published experience with HSDB 8316 during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

HSDB 8316 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. None of the mothers were taking HSDB 8316.[3] Beta-adrenergic blocking drugs with similar breastmilk excretion characteristics have caused adverse effects in breastfed newborns.[4][5]

HSDB 8316 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

A study in 6 patients with hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea found no changes in serum prolactin levels following beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol.[6] Relevant published information on the effects of beta-blockade or HSDB 8316 during normal lactation was not found as of the revision date.
