Answer by Dr. Ru: About BY-1023 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 BY-1023 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 BY-1023 without anti-acid protection are destroyed in the stomach.

Maternal BY-1023 doses of 40 mg daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
