I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use VUFB-6453? Is VUFB-6453 safe for nursing mother and child? Does VUFB-6453 extracts into breast milk? Does VUFB-6453 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can VUFB-6453 influence milk supply or can VUFB-6453 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Based on its physicochemical properties and its ophthalmic route of administration, VUFB-6453 eye drops would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. 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.
Relevant published information on VUFB-6453 was not found as of the revision date. 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 VUFB-6453.[2]
Relevant published information on the effects of beta-blockade or VUFB-6453 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]
