Answer by Dr. Ru: About AVP-825 usage in lactation
Until more information on other Triptan-related compounds are available AVP-825 is thought to be the safest one because of both a low excretion into breast milk and a low gut absorption.
Answer by DrLact: About AVP-825 usage in lactation
BBecause of the low levels of AVP-825 in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small. It also has poor oral bioavailability, further decreasing infant exposure to the drug. Some authors have suggested that withholding breastfeeding for 8 hours after a single subcutaneous injection would virtually eliminate infant exposure to the drug.[1] The manufacturer recommends withholding breastfeeding for 12 hours after a dose. Withholding breastfeeding might be helpful in extreme cases, such as in the mother of a preterm infant, but AVP-825 would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in most breastfed infants. One anecdotal report of lactation ceasing after a single injection of AVP-825 has not been verified.
