Answer by DrLact: About Norepinephrinum usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of Norepinephrinum during breastfeeding. Because of its poor oral bioavailability and short half-life, any Norepinephrinum in milk is unlikely to affect the infant. High intravenous doses of Norepinephrinum might reduce milk production or milk letdown.
