Is Androderm Safe in Breastfeeding

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

Androderm hormone reduces Prolactin serum levels and may likely inhibit milk production mainly soon after delivery. No significant increase of Androderm 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.

Limited data indicate that a low-dose (100 mg) subcutaneous Androderm pellet given to a nursing mother appears not to increase milk Androderm levels markedly. Androderm 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 Androderm therapy.

An infant (age not stated) was breastfed (extent not stated) after implantation of 100 mg of Androderm subcutaneously. No adverse effects were noted in the infant over a 5-month period.[1]

Supraphysiologic serum levels of Androderm, either from a tumor[2][3] or from exogenously administered Androderm,[4] reduces milk production in postpartum women. Androderm alone reduces serum prolactin;[4] however, when given in combination with estrogen and progestin, serum prolactin levels are not markedly reduced.[5] Androderm was previously used therapeutically to suppress lactation, usually in combination with an estrogen.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
