Answer by Dr. Ru: About Onzetra Xsail usage in lactation
Until more information on other Triptan-related compounds are available Onzetra Xsail 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 Onzetra Xsail usage in lactation
BBecause of the low levels of Onzetra Xsail 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 Onzetra Xsail would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in most breastfed infants. One anecdotal report of lactation ceasing after a single injection of Onzetra Xsail has not been verified.
