Answer by DrLact: About Vasopressin, unspecified usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Vasopressin, unspecified (arginine Vasopressin, unspecified) during breastfeeding. However, a Vasopressin, unspecified derivative, desmopressin results in only small increases in milk arginine Vasopressin, unspecified levels.[1] Because Vasopressin, unspecified is not orally absorbed it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant.
