Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-XZ629S5L50 usage in lactation

Pharmacokinetic data (moderately high molecular weight and high percentage of protein binding) make it unlikely the passage into breast milk in significant amounts and would explain the low content in the milk reported by the manufacturer. Low oral bioavailability, mostly when taken with food, hinder plasma passage from ingested milk by the infant except in preterm and immediate neonatal infants, who may have a greater intestinal absorption.It has been used in infants from 12 months of age. A drug of the same group and similar effect, the Montelukast, is excreted into breast milk in negligible amount. Until more data is available regarding breastfeeding, it may be preferable to choose alternatives that are known to be safer, especially in the neonatal period and/or in case of prematurity.

No published information is available on the use of UNII-XZ629S5L50 during breastfeeding; however, manufacturer's data indicate that the dose in milk is low. If UNII-XZ629S5L50 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Because there is no published experience with UNII-XZ629S5L50 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. UNII-XZ629S5L50 has been used in children as young as 12 months of age.[1]
