Is BI 397 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use BI 397? Is BI 397 safe for nursing mother and child? Does BI 397 extracts into breast milk? Does BI 397 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can BI 397 influence milk supply or can BI 397 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About BI 397 usage in lactation
If BI 397 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Because BI 397 is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal tract, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and candidiasis (e.g., thrush, diaper rash). However, because there is no published experience with BI 397 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
