Answer by Dr. Ru: About Testoviron T usage in lactation
Testoviron T hormone reduces Prolactin serum levels and may likely inhibit milk production mainly soon after delivery. No significant increase of Testoviron T serum levels neither in the mother´s milk nor in the infant’s serum have been found after administration to the mother. No adverse side effects have been noticed in the infant.
Answer by DrLact: About Testoviron T usage in lactation
Limited data indicate that a low-dose (100 mg) subcutaneous Testoviron T pellet given to a nursing mother appears not to increase milk Testoviron T levels markedly. Testoviron T has low oral bioavailability because of extensive first-pass metabolism, so it is unlikely to affect the breastfed infant. One breastfed infant seemed not to be adversely affected by low-dose maternal Testoviron T therapy.
Testoviron T Side Effects in Breastfeeding
An infant (age not stated) was breastfed (extent not stated) after implantation of 100 mg of Testoviron T subcutaneously. No adverse effects were noted in the infant over a 5-month period.[1]
Testoviron T Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Supraphysiologic serum levels of Testoviron T, either from a tumor[2][3] or from exogenously administered Testoviron T,[4] reduces milk production in postpartum women. Testoviron T alone reduces serum prolactin;[4] however, when given in combination with estrogen and progestin, serum prolactin levels are not markedly reduced.[5] Testoviron T was previously used therapeutically to suppress lactation, usually in combination with an estrogen.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
