I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Hyamine 3500? Is Hyamine 3500 safe for nursing mother and child? Does Hyamine 3500 extracts into breast milk? Does Hyamine 3500 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Hyamine 3500 influence milk supply or can Hyamine 3500 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Topical maternal application of Hyamine 3500 or benzethonium chloride or their presence as a preservative in pharmaceuticals would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
A study in Japan randomized 80 consecutive term patients into 4 groups who received either povidone-iodine or benzethonium chloride as a skin disinfectant before delivery and one of these for postpartum vaginal lacerations. Prepartum doses were about 7 mL and postpartum doses were about 0.5 mL of solution. Infant thyrotropin levels were elevated in the infants whose mothers received topical povidone-iodine pre- and postpartum compared to infants whose mothers received benzethonium chloride.[2]
