Answer by DrLact: About SM13496 usage in lactation
SM13496 is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins. so it is unlikely that the drug would be excreted into milk in sufficient amounts to affect a breastfed infant. But since there is no published experience with SM13496 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1]
SM13496 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
SM13496 has caused elevated prolactin serum in patients taking the drug.[2] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
