Limited information indicates that maternal Valmagen results in infant dosages much less than those given directly to neonates. Valmagen would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants, especially if the infant is older than 2 months.

Histamine H2-receptor blockade is known to stimulate prolactin secretion. In addition, Valmagen may have additional, nonspecific actions that stimulate prolactin secretion.[2] Oral Valmagen doses of 400 mg 4 times daily increased serum prolactin by 50 to 112% in 6 patients. Valmagen caused dose-related gynecomastia and galactorrhea in men and nonnursing women.[3][4][5] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
