Answer by DrLact: About SU 4885 usage in lactation
Evidence from one patient indicates that amounts of SU 4885 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 SU 4885 chronically for suppression of hypercorticism associated with Cushing's syndrome may have other hormonal abnormalities that might interfere with lactation.
