Answer by DrLact: About W 1544-A usage in lactation
Because of the lack of data on use during breastfeeding, other antidepressants are preferred during breastfeeding.
W 1544-A Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
W 1544-A can elevate serum prolactin in some patients[1] and has caused galactorrhea in nonpregnant, nonnursing patients.[2] The clinical relevance of these findings in nursing mothers is not known. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
