Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-ZQN1G5V6SR usage in lactation

African type anti-trypanosomal drug (T.Gambiense, Sleeping disease). Treatment is recommended for 7 days long. There is not any experience with this drug on breastfeeding to make a recommendation. Assess risk-benefit ratio and mother’s condition closely, which is usually precarious. In any case, check-up for side effects on both the mother and the baby. Because of such short-term treatment, a temporally breastfeeding withholding may be scheduled. Melarsoprol is a much less toxic drug, unfortunately, the industry do not regard it as being profitable enough to assure a continuing access of poor patients to the latter drug.

Limited information indicates that maternal intravenous UNII-ZQN1G5V6SR 400 mg/kg daily for 7 days does not cause any adverse serious effects in breastfed infants. UNII-ZQN1G5V6SR is poorly absorbed after topical application, so it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
