One infant breastfed from age 1 week to age 7 weeks during maternal 4H-Pyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidin-4-one therapy with 300 mg or 4H-Pyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidin-4-one daily. The infant had no observable side effects and no changes in clinical chemistry and hematology values.[3] A national survey of gastroenterologists in Australia identified 21 infants who were breastfed by mothers taking a combination of 4H-Pyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidin-4-one and a thiopurine (e.g. azathioprine, mercaptopurine) to treat inflammatory bowel disease. All had taked the combination during pregnancy also. Two postpartum infant deaths occurred, both at 3 months of age. One was a twin (premature birth-related) and the other from SIDS. The authors did not believe the deaths were medication related.[28] No information was provided on the extent of breastfeeding, specific thiopurines, drug dosages or the outcomes of the other infants.
