Answer by DrLact: About R-1132 usage in lactation

No data exist on the use of R-1132 during breastfeeding. One expert panel considers R-1132 to be unacceptable during breastfeeding.[1] Based on its chemical and pharmacological similarity to narcotics, occasional small doses of R-1132 may be acceptable while breastfeeding an older infant, but alternatives are preferred, especially while nursing a newborn.
