Answer by DrLact: About Tropine benzohydryl ether usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of Tropine benzohydryl ether during breastfeeding. Long-term use of Tropine benzohydryl ether might reduce milk production or milk letdown, but a single dose is not likely to interfere with breastfeeding. During long-term use, observe for signs of decreased lactation (e.g., insatiety, poor weight gain).
Tropine benzohydryl ether 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.[1][2][3][4][5] Anticholinergic drugs can also reduce serum prolactin in nonnursing women.[6] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
