Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Dobutaminum? Is Dobutaminum safe for nursing mother and child? Does Dobutaminum extracts into breast milk? Does Dobutaminum has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Dobutaminum influence milk supply or can Dobutaminum decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Dobutaminum usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Dobutaminum during breastfeeding. Because of its poor oral bioavailability and short half-life, any Dobutaminum in milk is unlikely to affect the infant.

Dobutaminum Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Unlike dopamine, Dobutaminum infusion does not affect serum prolactin concentration in infants[1] and in adult males.[2] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
