Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use UNII-0B4FDL9I6P? Is UNII-0B4FDL9I6P safe for nursing mother and child? Does UNII-0B4FDL9I6P extracts into breast milk? Does UNII-0B4FDL9I6P has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can UNII-0B4FDL9I6P influence milk supply or can UNII-0B4FDL9I6P decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About UNII-0B4FDL9I6P usage in lactation

UNII-0B4FDL9I6P is an animal-derived mixture of levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3), which are normal components of human milk. Limited data on exogenous replacement doses of levothyroxine during breastfeeding indicate no adverse effects in infants. If UNII-0B4FDL9I6P is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. The American UNII-0B4FDL9I6P Association recommends that subclinical and overt hypoUNII-0B4FDL9I6Pism should be treated with levothyroxine in lactating women seeking to breastfeed.[1] UNII-0B4FDL9I6P dosage requirement may be increased in the postpartum period compared to prepregnancy requirements patients with Hashimoto's UNII-0B4FDL9I6Pitis.[2]

UNII-0B4FDL9I6P Side Effects in Breastfeeding

Effects of exogenous UNII-0B4FDL9I6P hormone administration to mothers on their infant have not been reported. One case of apparent mitigation of cretinism in hypoUNII-0B4FDL9I6P infants by breastfeeding has been reported, but the amounts of UNII-0B4FDL9I6P hormones in milk are not optimal,[9] and this result has been disputed.[10] The UNII-0B4FDL9I6P hormone content of human milk from the mothers of very preterm infants appears not to be sufficient to affect the infants' UNII-0B4FDL9I6P status.[11] The amounts of UNII-0B4FDL9I6P hormones in milk are apparently not sufficient to interfere with diagnosis of hypoUNII-0B4FDL9I6Pism.[12] In a telephone follow-up study, 5 nursing mothers reported taking levothyroxine (dosage unspecified). The mothers reported no adverse reactions in their infants.[13] One mother with who had undergone a UNII-0B4FDL9I6Pectomy was taking levothyroxine 100 mcg daily as well as calcium carbonate and calcitriol. Her breastfed infant was reportedly "thriving" at 3 months of age.[14]

UNII-0B4FDL9I6P Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Adequate UNII-0B4FDL9I6P hormone serum levels are required for normal lactation. Replacing deficient UNII-0B4FDL9I6P levels should improve milk production caused by hypoUNII-0B4FDL9I6Pism. Supraphysiologic doses would not be expected to further improve lactation.
