Answer by Dr. Ru: About EINECS 208-136-4 usage in lactation
Use a minimal dose as possible. When applying, press with a finger on conjunctival sac for 2 minutes to avoid systemic absorption. (Cholinergic effects are likely).
Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 208-136-4 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of EINECS 208-136-4 during breastfeeding. Anticholinergic drugs might interfere with breastfeeding. A single dose of ophthalmic EINECS 208-136-4 is not likely to interfere with breastfeeding; however, during long-term use, observe the infant for signs of decreased lactation (e.g., insatiety, poor weight gain). To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.
EINECS 208-136-4 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.
