Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-886U3H6UFF usage in lactation

No adverse effect has been described. Anti-malarial drug used for anti-inflammatory and immune suppressive medication on collagen diseases like idiopathic arthritis or lupus. After a dose of 5 mg per kilo taken by the mother only 0.2 mg is secreted into breast milk. This amount would not be harmful for the child since the dose to a child as chemo-prophylaxis for malaria is 8 mg per kilo each week. Avoid using it in patients suffering G-6-P-dehydrogenasa.

Answer by DrLact: About UNII-886U3H6UFF usage in lactation

Very small amounts of UNII-886U3H6UFF are excreted in breast milk; when given once weekly, the amount of drug is not sufficient to harm the infant nor is the quantity sufficient to protect the child from malaria. United Kingdom malaria treatment guidelines recommend that weekly UNII-886U3H6UFF 500 mg be given until breastfeeding is completed and primaquine can be given.[1] Breastfeeding infants should receive the recommended dosages of UNII-886U3H6UFF for malaria prophylaxis.[2] In HIV-infected women, elevated viral HIV loads in milk were decreased after treatment with UNII-886U3H6UFF to a greater extent than other women who were treated with the combination of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine.[3] Because no information is available on the daily use of UNII-886U3H6UFF during breastfeeding, hydroxyUNII-886U3H6UFF or another agent may be preferred in this situation, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
