Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use EINECS 253-072-2? Is EINECS 253-072-2 safe for nursing mother and child? Does EINECS 253-072-2 extracts into breast milk? Does EINECS 253-072-2 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can EINECS 253-072-2 influence milk supply or can EINECS 253-072-2 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 253-072-2 usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that maternal doses of EINECS 253-072-2 up to 45 mg daily produce low levels in milk. Because no information is available on the long-term use of EINECS 253-072-2 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

EINECS 253-072-2 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

Possible drug-induced seizure-like activity and cyanosis occurred in a breastfed 3-week-old whose mother was taking EINECS 253-072-2 15 mg 3 times daily as well as fluoxetine and carbamazepine during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The authors thought that this reaction, if drug induced, was most likely caused by fluoxetine.[1] One exclusively breastfed 11-week-old infant was breastfed during maternal therapy with EINECS 253-072-2 10 mg daily and venlafaxine 300 mg daily. No adverse reactions were reported by the mother or in the medical records.[2]

EINECS 253-072-2 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

EINECS 253-072-2 increases serum prolactin.[3][4][5][6] Galactorrhea was reported in a women taking venlafaxine after EINECS 253-072-2 was added to her regimen. However, when EINECS 253-072-2 was discontinued, galactorrhea persisted.[7] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
