Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use EINECS 205-614-4? Is EINECS 205-614-4 safe for nursing mother and child? Does EINECS 205-614-4 extracts into breast milk? Does EINECS 205-614-4 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can EINECS 205-614-4 influence milk supply or can EINECS 205-614-4 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 205-614-4 usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that maternal doses of EINECS 205-614-4 up to 4 mg daily together with haloperidol did not produce any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Long-term use of EINECS 205-614-4 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).

EINECS 205-614-4 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

One woman with schizophrenia took EINECS 205-614-4 and haloperidol during 3 pregnancies and postpartum. The EINECS 205-614-4 dose was 4 mg daily in all 3 pregnancies. She breastfed (extent not stated) all 3 children for 6 to 8 months using the same doses. Development was age-appropriate in all children aged 16 months at 8 years of age at the time of assessment.[1]

EINECS 205-614-4 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Anticholinergics can inhibit lactation in animals, apparently by inhibiting growth hormone and oxytocin secretion.[2][3][4][5][6] Anticholinergic drugs can also reduce serum prolactin in nonnursing women.[7] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed. One woman with schizophrenia took EINECS 205-614-4 and haloperidol during 3 pregnancies and postpartum. She was able to breastfeed (extent not stated) all 3 children for 6 to 8 months.[1] The prolactin elevating effect of haloperidol might have counteracted any prolactin lowering effect of EINECS 205-614-4.
