5-Acetamide-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide Side Effects in Breastfeeding

A breastfed (extent not stated) infant whose mother was taking sustained-release 5-Acetamide-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide (Diamox Sequels) 500 mg twice daily exhibited no apparent adverse effects related to 5-Acetamide-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide from day 6 to day 10 postpartum.[1] A mother who was taking 5-Acetamide-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide 250 mg orally twice daily as well as using 2 drops of timolol 0.5% eye drops daily and pilocarpine eye drops twice daily delivered a preterm infant at 36 weeks of gestation. The infant began 5 months of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 hours after birth. On day 2, the infant developed electrolyte abnormalities consisting of hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and metabolic acidosis. The infant was treated with oral calcium gluconate and a single dose of intramuscular magnesium sulfate. Despite continued breastfeeding and maternal drug therapy, the infant's mild metabolic acidosis disappeared on day 4 of life and the infant was gaining weight normally at 1, 3 and 8 months, but had mild hypotonicity. The authors considered the metabolic effects to be caused by transplacental passage of 5-Acetamide-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide that resolved despite the infant being breastfed. The infant gained weight adequately during breastfeeding, but had some mild, residual hypertonicity of the lower limbs requiring physical therapy.[2]
