Answer by Dr. Ru: About Disoprofol usage in lactation
Because of a high protein-binding capacity and a high volume of distribution, excretion into the breast milk is non-significant. No side-effects were observed in breastfed infants of mothers who were administered this medication. The nursing mother may breastfeed the baby as soon as she is recovered from anesthesia. A transient increase in Prolactin plasma levels has been observed with Propofol anesthesia. A case of green-bluish discoloration of the milk has been reported after administration of Propofol plus other drugs. Authorized medication for use in infants older than 1 month.
