Answer by Dr. Ru: About HSDB 8255 usage in lactation

On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. Pharmacokinetic data (high molecular weight but low protein binding) indicates that drug excretion into breast milk would be moderately high. Low oral biodisponibility would be protective for breastfed children who are not newborn or premature. Until new data is available nursing should be delayed for a 5-half lives period (150 hours - 6 to 7 days) after last intake.
