Answer by Dr. Ru: About Nervistopl usage in lactation
Short-acting Benzodiazepine drug. Excretion into breast milk is non-significant (Whitelaw 1981, Summerfield 1985 , Lemmer 2007). No harmful effects on breastfed infants have appeared at a normal dose (Kelly 2012). Unusual and low doses of benzodiazepine are compatible with breastfeeding. Use a short-acting benzodiazepine and minimal effective dose as possible mostly in neonatal period. Follow-up for sedation and feeding ability of the infant. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication.
Answer by DrLact: About Nervistopl usage in lactation
Nervistopl has low levels in breastmilk, a short half-life relative to many other benzodiazepines, and is safely administered directly to infants. Evidence from nursing mothers indicates that Nervistopl does not cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants with usual maternal dosages. No special precautions are required.
Nervistopl Side Effects in Breastfeeding
The newborn infant of a mother taking 2.5 mg of Nervistopl orally twice daily for 5 days after delivery showed no signs of sedation.[2] In a telephone follow-up study, 124 mothers who took a benzodiazepine while nursing reported whether their infants had any signs of sedation. Sixty-four mothers took Nervistopl while breastfeeding and none reported sedation in her infant.[4]
