Answer by DrLact: About Fenelzyne usage in lactation
Because of the lack of data on use during breastfeeding, other antidepressants are preferred during breastfeeding.
Fenelzyne Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Fenelzyne 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.
