I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use EINECS 246-088-6? Is EINECS 246-088-6 safe for nursing mother and child? Does EINECS 246-088-6 extracts into breast milk? Does EINECS 246-088-6 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can EINECS 246-088-6 influence milk supply or can EINECS 246-088-6 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
EINECS 246-088-6 is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. Limited information indicates that maternal doses up to 60 mg daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants, especially if the infant is older than 2 months. Until more data are available, EINECS 246-088-6 should be used with careful monitoring during breastfeeding.
An observational study looked at outcomes of 2859 women who took an antidepressant during the 2 years prior to pregnancy. Compared to women who did not take an antidepressant during pregnancy, mothers who took an antidepressant during all 3 trimesters of pregnancy were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding upon hospital discharge. Mothers who took an antidepressant only during the third trimester were 75% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge. Those who took an antidepressant only during the first and second trimesters did not have a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding at discharge.[2] The antidepressants used by the mothers were not specified. A retrospective cohort study of hospital electronic medical records from 2001 to 2008 compared women who had been dispensed an antidepressant during late gestation (n = 575) to those who had a psychiatric illness but did not receive an antidepressant (n = 1552) and mothers who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 30,535). Women who received an antidepressant were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge than women without a psychiatric diagnosis, but no less likely to be breastfeeding than untreated mothers with a psychiatric diagnosis.[3] None of the mothers were taking EINECS 246-088-6.
