Answer by DrLact: About OPC 34712 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of OPC 34712 during breastfeeding. If OPC 34712 is required by the mother of an older infant, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
