Answer by Dr. Ru: About CCRIS 4375 usage in lactation

Systemic absorption is minimal. There have not been problems except when a maternal overdose has been absorbed. Like most ophthalmologic compounds for topical use a low dose and poor absorption make it compatible with breastfeeding.

Answer by DrLact: About CCRIS 4375 usage in lactation

Based on its physicochemical properties and its ophthalmic route of administration, CCRIS 4375 appears to present a moderately low risk to the breastfed infant. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.

CCRIS 4375 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 CCRIS 4375.[2]

CCRIS 4375 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Relevant published information on the effects of beta-blockade or CCRIS 4375 during normal lactation was not found as of the revision date.
