Answer by Dr. Ru: About Z10-TR usage in lactation
Short-acting benzodiacepine. Diazepam active metabolite. Excreted into breast milk in non-significant level. No harm effects on breastfed infants have been shown. Eventual and low dose use of benzodiacepines are compatible with breastfeeding. Use the short-acting benzodiazepine and minimal effective dose as possible mostly in the neonatal period. Check-up for infant sedation and feeding problems. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication.
Answer by DrLact: About Z10-TR usage in lactation
Z10-TR has low levels in breastmilk, a short half-life relative to many other benzodiazepines, and is administration directly to infants. Z10-TR would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants with usual maternal dosages. No special precautions are required.
Z10-TR Side Effects in Breastfeeding
A woman with major depression was treated with Z10-TR and her breastfed infant was reportedly sedated. The dosage of Z10-TR, age of the infant and extent of nursing were not reported.[4] In a telephone follow-up study, 124 mothers who took a benzodiazepine while nursing reported whether their infants had any signs of sedation. Two mothers took Z10-TR while breastfeeding and neither reported sedation in her infant.[5]
