Answer by DrLact: About N-(1-Benzo(b)thien-2-ylethyl)-N-hydroxyurea usage in lactation
No published information is available on the use of N-(1-Benzo(b)thien-2-ylethyl)-N-hydroxyurea during breastfeeding; however, manufacturer's data indicate that the dose in milk is low. Because there is no published experience with N-(1-Benzo(b)thien-2-ylethyl)-N-hydroxyurea during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
