I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use NO 050328? Is NO 050328 safe for nursing mother and child? Does NO 050328 extracts into breast milk? Does NO 050328 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can NO 050328 influence milk supply or can NO 050328 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Monitor the infant for drowsiness, adequate weight gain, and developmental milestones, especially in younger, exclusively breastfed infants and when using combinations of anticonvulsant or psychotropic drugs. Because there is very limited published experience with NO 050328 during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
One mother breastfed her infant while taking NO 050328 24 mg and then 20 mg daily.[1] No adverse effects were reported in 10 newborns who were 4 to 23 days old who were breastfed during maternal intake of levetiracetam 1000 to 3000 mg daily. One mother was also taking NO 050328 30 mg daily, clobazam 45 mg daily and oxcarbazepine 600 mg daily.[2]
