Answer by DrLact: About Vasopressini injectio [INN-Latin] usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Vasopressini injectio [INN-Latin] (arginine Vasopressini injectio [INN-Latin]) during breastfeeding. However, a Vasopressini injectio [INN-Latin] derivative, desmopressin results in only small increases in milk arginine Vasopressini injectio [INN-Latin] levels.[1] Because Vasopressini injectio [INN-Latin] is not orally absorbed it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant.
