Answer by Dr. Ru: About Pantoprazolum [INN-Latin] usage in lactation
Due to a high serum-protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk is non-significant without side-effects among breastfed infants from treated mothers. Since it's neutralized by the acid pH of stomach, capsules with enteric coated granules are used. Because of this, it is thought that the small quantity of Pantoprazolum [INN-Latin] that may reach the breast milk would be neutralized by infant's stomach. In addition, absorption is greatly decreased by the presence of food. No effect on Prolactin secretion has been observed. Other formulations of Pantoprazolum [INN-Latin] without anti-acid protection are destroyed in the stomach.

Maternal Pantoprazolum [INN-Latin] doses of 40 mg daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
