Is R 16659 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use R 16659? Is R 16659 safe for nursing mother and child? Does R 16659 extracts into breast milk? Does R 16659 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can R 16659 influence milk supply or can R 16659 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About R 16659 usage in lactation
Amounts of R 16659 in milk are very small and decrease rapidly. Existing data indicate that no waiting period is required before resuming breastfeeding after R 16659 anesthesia. Breastfeeding can be resumed as soon as the mother has recovered sufficiently from general anesthesia to nurse. When a combination of anesthetic agents is used for a procedure, follow the recommendations for the most problematic medication used during the procedure.
