Is Methscopolamine Safe in Breastfeeding

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

No information is available on the use of Methscopolamine during breastfeeding. Because Methscopolamine is a quaternary ammonium compound, it is not likely to be absorbed and reach the bloodstream of the infant. Long-term use of Methscopolamine might reduce milk production or milk letdown, but a single dose is unlikely to interfere with breastfeeding. During long-term use, observe 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.

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.
