Answer by Dr. Ru: About CCRIS 1923 usage in lactation
Advice to take a minimal dose for a short time since anti-cholinergic drugs may decrease breast milk production. Check-up for anti-cholinergic symptoms (mouth dryness, constipation...)
Answer by DrLact: About CCRIS 1923 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of oxybutynin during breastfeeding. Long-term use of oxybutynin 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).
CCRIS 1923 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
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. The manufacturer reports that cases of lactation suppression have been reported with some oxybutynin (immediate-release) formulations in postmarketing surveillance.[7]
