Answer by DrLact: About Canquil-400 usage in lactation
If Canquil-400 is required by the mother, it is not necessarily a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because there is little published experience with Canquil-400 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.
