Answer by DrLact: About VA-2914 usage in lactation

VA-2914 is a selective progesterone receptor modulator used in a single dose as an emergency postcoital contraceptive. No information is available on the clinical use of VA-2914 during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends avoiding use of VA-2914 acetate during breastfeeding; others recommend withholding breastfeeding for 24 hours after use, based on the low levels in breastmilk.[1][2]
