Is Rexulti Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Rexulti? Is Rexulti safe for nursing mother and child? Does Rexulti extracts into breast milk? Does Rexulti has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Rexulti influence milk supply or can Rexulti decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Rexulti usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of Rexulti during breastfeeding. If Rexulti 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.
