Answer by Dr. Ru: About AA 2500 usage in lactation
AA 2500 hormone reduces Prolactin serum levels and may likely inhibit milk production mainly soon after delivery. No significant increase of AA 2500 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 AA 2500 usage in lactation
Limited data indicate that a low-dose (100 mg) subcutaneous AA 2500 pellet given to a nursing mother appears not to increase milk AA 2500 levels markedly. AA 2500 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 AA 2500 therapy.
AA 2500 Side Effects in Breastfeeding
An infant (age not stated) was breastfed (extent not stated) after implantation of 100 mg of AA 2500 subcutaneously. No adverse effects were noted in the infant over a 5-month period.[1]
AA 2500 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Supraphysiologic serum levels of AA 2500, either from a tumor[2][3] or from exogenously administered AA 2500,[4] reduces milk production in postpartum women. AA 2500 alone reduces serum prolactin;[4] however, when given in combination with estrogen and progestin, serum prolactin levels are not markedly reduced.[5] AA 2500 was previously used therapeutically to suppress lactation, usually in combination with an estrogen.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
