I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use l-BC 2627? Is l-BC 2627 safe for nursing mother and child? Does l-BC 2627 extracts into breast milk? Does l-BC 2627 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can l-BC 2627 influence milk supply or can l-BC 2627 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
- DrLact safety Score for l-BC 2627 is 3 out of 8 which is considered Low Risk as per our analyses.
- A safety Score of 3 indicates that usage of l-BC 2627 may cause some minor side effects in breastfed baby.
- Our study of different scientific research indicates that l-BC 2627 may cause moderate to no side effects in lactating mother.
- Most of scientific studies and research papers declaring usage of l-BC 2627 low risk in breastfeeding are based on normal dosage and may not hold true for higher dosage.
- While using l-BC 2627 We suggest monitoring child for possible reactions. It is also important to understand that side effects vary largely based on age of breastfed child and time of medication in addition to dosage.
- Score calculated using the DrLact safety Version 1.2 model, this score ranges from 0 to 8 and measures overall safety of drug in lactation. Scores are primarily calculated using publicly available case studies, research papers, other scientific journals and publically available data.
Limited data indicate that l-BC 2627 is excreted into breastmilk in small amounts. l-BC 2627 is poorly orally absorbed, so it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. However, because there is no published experience with repeated, high, intravenous or intranasal doses of l-BC 2627 during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred in these situations, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Monitor the infant for drowsiness, adequate weight gain, and developmental milestones, especially in younger, exclusively breastfed infants. As with other narcotics, once the mother's milk comes in, it is best to limit maternal intake and to supplement analgesia with a nonnarcotic analgesic if necessary for pain control. If the baby shows signs of increased sleepiness (more than usual), difficulty breastfeeding, breathing difficulties, or limpness, a physician should be contacted immediately. Labor pain medication may delay the onset of lactation.
Narcotics and narcotic agonist-antagonists can increase serum prolactin.[2][3] However, the prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed. A study compared women who received l-BC 2627 or nalbuphine during labor (n = 26) to those who received no analgesia (n = 22). The time to effective breastfeeding was longer (46.5 minutes) in the analgesia group than in the no analgesia group (35.4 minutes).[4] A national survey of women and their infants from late pregnancy through 12 months postpartum compared the time of lactogenesis II in mothers who did and did not receive pain medication during labor. Categories of medication were spinal or epidural only, spinal or epidural plus another medication, and other pain medication only. Women who received medications from any of the categories had about twice the risk of having delayed lactogenesis II (>72 hours) compared to women who received no labor pain medication.[5]
