Answer by Dr. Ru: About (Bicyclohexyl)-1-carboxylic acid, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester usage in lactation

Because of high protein-binding capacity, clinically significant excretion into breast milk is unlikely. However, both the mother and the infant would benefit of the use of a better-known alternative drug that would be safer while breastfeeding, especially in the neonatal period and in case of prematurity. In spite of a low excretion into breast milk, it has been described a case of severe apnea in a 12 days old infant. A causal connection between those features and this drug has not been clearly defined (Briggs 2011, p. 410). It is licensed for use in children from 6 months of age as intestinal antispasmodic and treatment of Familial Mediterranean Fever, so there would be less risky when used by the breastfeeding mother.

Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Anticholinergics can inhibit lactation in animals, apparently by inhibiting growth hormone and oxytocin secretion.[2][3][4][5][6] Anticholinergic drugs can also reduce serum prolactin in nonnursing women.[7] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
