Answer by Dr. Ru: About HSDB 8022 usage in lactation
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor which acts within the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed, reducing intestinal absorption of glucose. Very low risk of hypoglycemia in monotherapy. HSDB 8022 is excreted in breast milk in minute quantities (Serrano 2014, Pfizer 2012, AEMPS 2009) reaching a relative dose much less than 1%. Diet, exercise, and breastfeeding improve blood sugar levels.

Limited data indicate that HSDB 8022 is poorly excreted into breastmilk. Because HSDB 8022 is also poorly absorbed orally, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant.
