Answer by DrLact: About UNII-YYX637R279 usage in lactation

Short-term or occasional use of UNII-YYX637R279 during breastfeeding is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant, especially if the infant is older than 2 months. Because the active metabolite, trichloroethanol, has a long half-life, long-term use of repeated doses during breastfeeding could result in infant sedation, especially while nursing a neonate or preterm infant. The low doses of UNII-YYX637R279 found in combination migraine products (e.g., Midrin) are less likely to cause drowsiness in the infant unless doses are repeated several times daily. The antipyrine component of UNII-YYX637R279 is considered unlikely to harm the infant.[1][2] Monitor the infant for excessive drowsiness during use.

UNII-YYX637R279 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

Minimal morning sedation occurred in a 5-month-old breastfed infant whose mother was taking 1.3 grams of UNII-YYX637R279 (equivalent to about 1 gram of chloral hydrate) every evening plus chlorpromazine 100 mg 3 times daily. The infant's overall development was said to be normal at 3 months of age.[3]
