Answer by Dr. Ru: About Nizatidinum usage in lactation
It is secreted in very small amount into breast milk (0,06% of maternal dose)
Answer by DrLact: About Nizatidinum usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Nizatidinum in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. No special precautions are required. Histamine H2-antagonists with more extensive use might be preferred in newborns.
Nizatidinum Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Histamine H2-receptor blockade is known to stimulate prolactin secretion.[2] No reports of hyperlproactinemia, galactorrhea or effects on breastfeeding women caused by nizatadine were found as of the revision date. The maternal prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
