No information is available on the use of Ezerin during breastfeeding.

Ezerin Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. In animals, cholinergic drugs increase oxytocin release,[2] and have variable effects on serum prolactin.[3] Ezerin increases serum prolactin in humans.[4][5] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
