Answer by Dr. Ru: About NSC 290818 usage in lactation

Choose a short half-life span benzodiazepine. Occasional usage is considered to be safe. Avoid its continuous use. Try to avoid it on postnatal period or if the infant nurses frequently by night. Follow-up for sedation and feeding ability of the infant. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication.
