Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HSDB 2169? Is HSDB 2169 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HSDB 2169 extracts into breast milk? Does HSDB 2169 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HSDB 2169 influence milk supply or can HSDB 2169 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 2169 usage in lactation

HSDB 2169 has not been studied during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding should probably be avoided after oral use. Because it is poorly absorbed after topical application, it is considered a low risk to the nursing infant.[1][2][3] Ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated. Only water-miscible cream or gel products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[4]

HSDB 2169 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

A review of adverse reaction reports on retinoids causing a breast reaction submitted to a French pharmacovigilance center found 1 case of gynecomastia was associated with topical HSDB 2169 use.[5]
