Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-621G617227 usage in lactation
Antimuscarinic agent with atropine-like action. It is metabolized in Tolterodine At latest update no published data on excretion into breast milk were found. Until more published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding is available, a known safer alternative as Tolterodine should be preferred with more favorable pharmacokinetics characteristics for lactation (e.g. high protein-binding capacity, faster elimination and lower oral bioavailability), particularly during the neonatal period and prematurity case. Take as smallest dose as possible and avoid long-term use since anticholinergics can reduce milk production. Monitoring anticholinergic symptoms in infants (dry mouth, constipation ..) is warranted.
Answer by DrLact: About UNII-621G617227 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of UNII-621G617227 during breastfeeding. Long-term use of UNII-621G617227 might reduce milk production or milk letdown. During long-term use, observe for signs of decreased lactation (e.g., insatiety, poor weight gain).
UNII-621G617227 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Anticholinergics can inhibit lactation in animals apparently by inhibiting growth hormone and oxytocin secretion.[1][2][3][4][5] Anticholinergic drugs can also reduce serum prolactin in nonnursing women.[6] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
