Answer by DrLact: About Bromuro de glicopirronio [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Bromuro de glicopirronio [INN-Spanish] during breastfeeding. Because Bromuro de glicopirronio [INN-Spanish] is a quaternary ammonium compound, it is not likely to be absorbed and reach the bloodstream of the infant,[1][2][3] especially when given by inhalation or topically on the skin. Long-term oral use of Bromuro de glicopirronio [INN-Spanish] might reduce milk production or milk letdown, but a single dose is unlikely to interfere with breastfeeding. During long-term use, observe for signs of decreased lactation (e.g., insatiety, poor weight gain).

Bromuro de glicopirronio [INN-Spanish] Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

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.[4][5][6][7][8] Anticholinergic drugs can also reduce serum prolactin in nonnursing women.[9] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
