Answer by Dr. Ru: About HSDB 7556 usage in lactation

Anti-obesity product with a peripheral acting mechanism. Absorption of ingested fat is reduced by 35% due to local neutralization of lipase activity in the gut. HSDB 7556 is not absorbed. At latest update, relevant information on excretion into breast milk was not found. However, because of pharmacokinetic data (a moderately high molecular-weight, a nil absorption, a high protein-binding-capacity), excretion of HSDB 7556 into breast milk in significant levels is unlikely. Due to a lack of absorption, serum levels are likely nil. On long-standing basis, it may affect absorption of liposoluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and beta-carotenes. This would be a reason to recommend a varied diet which should be rich in consumption of fruits, vegetables. Vitamin supplementation should also be considered. Nutritional status of the nursing mother should be monitored. Most of breastfeeding mothers recover the weight previous of pregnancy sooner than those who are not.

Because HSDB 7556 is poorly absorbed orally, it is unlikely that any HSDB 7556 is excreted into milk or absorbed by the infant. Therefore, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant.
