Answer by DrLact: About 9715 R.P. usage in lactation
If 9715 R.P. is required by the mother, it is not necessarily a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because there is no published experience with 9715 R.P. during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant, or when other drugs that can cause sedation are used simultaneously.
