I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Metopiron? Is Metopiron safe for nursing mother and child? Does Metopiron extracts into breast milk? Does Metopiron has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Metopiron influence milk supply or can Metopiron decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Evidence from one patient indicates that amounts of Metopiron and its active metabolite in breastmilk are very small and unlikely to adversely affect a breastfed infant. Exposure of the infant can be further minimized by avoiding nursing for 2 to 2.5 hours after each dose.
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. Women taking Metopiron chronically for suppression of hypercorticism associated with Cushing's syndrome may have other hormonal abnormalities that might interfere with lactation.
