Answer by DrLact: About 2-Chlor-11-(1-piperazinyl)dibenz(b,f)(1,4)oxazepin usage in lactation

Because no information is available on the use of 2-Chlor-11-(1-piperazinyl)dibenz(b,f)(1,4)oxazepin during breastfeeding, another drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If 2-Chlor-11-(1-piperazinyl)dibenz(b,f)(1,4)oxazepin is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Exclusively breastfed infants should be monitored if this drug is used during lactation, possibly including measurement of serum levels to rule out toxicity if there is a concern.

2-Chlor-11-(1-piperazinyl)dibenz(b,f)(1,4)oxazepin Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Two cases of galactorrhea have been reported in nonbreastfeeding women who were taking 2-Chlor-11-(1-piperazinyl)dibenz(b,f)(1,4)oxazepin.[1][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. An observational study looked at outcomes of 2859 women who took an antidepressant during the 2 years prior to pregnancy. Compared to women who did not take an antidepressant during pregnancy, mothers who took an antidepressant during all 3 trimesters of pregnancy were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding upon hospital discharge. Mothers who took an antidepressant only during the third trimester were 75% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge. Those who took an antidepressant only during the first and second trimesters did not have a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding at discharge.[3] The antidepressants used by the mothers were not specified. A retrospective cohort study of hospital electronic medical records from 2001 to 2008 compared women who had been dispensed an antidepressant during late gestation (n = 575) to those who had a psychiatric illness but did not receive an antidepressant (n = 1552) and mothers who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 30,535). Women who received an antidepressant were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge than women without a psychiatric diagnosis, but no less likely to be breastfeeding than untreated mothers with a psychiatric diagnosis.[4] None of the mothers were taking 2-Chlor-11-(1-piperazinyl)dibenz(b,f)(1,4)oxazepin.
