Answer by DrLact: About AGN-190168 usage in lactation

Topical AGN-190168 has not been studied during breastfeeding. AGN-190168 is not contraindicated during breastfeeding and if AGN-190168 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, some experts feel it should not be used on greater than 20% of the body surface area while nursing because of possible absorption.[1] If AGN-190168 is used, ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of maternal skin that have been treated and the infant does not ingest the product from the mother's skin.
