Answer by DrLact: About UNII-M5681Q5F9P usage in lactation
No relevant published information exists on the use of UNII-M5681Q5F9P during breastfeeding. Because of a concern with disruption of infant lipid metabolism, the consensus is that UNII-M5681Q5F9P should not be used during breastfeeding. However, others have argued that children homozygous for familial hypercholesterolemia are treated with statins beginning at 1 year of age, that statins have low oral bioavailability, and risks to the breastfed infant are low, especially with rosuvastatin and pravastatin.[1] Until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
