Answer by Dr. Ru: About HSDB 7044 usage in lactation

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk. Its high percentage of plasma protein binding makes excretion in significant amounts very unlikely (Riant 1986). Other adrenergic beta-blockers of the same family and similar chemical structure are compatible with breastfeeding (see specific information for Labetalol or Propranolol). Until there is more published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding, safer known alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 7044 usage in lactation

Based on its physicochemical properties, HSDB 7044 appears to present a low-risk to the breastfed infant. Because there is no published experience with HSDB 7044 during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

HSDB 7044 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 7044.[2]

HSDB 7044 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Relevant published information on the effects of beta-blockade or HSDB 7044 during normal lactation was not found as of the revision date. A study in 6 patients with hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea found no changes in serum prolactin levels following beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol.[3]
