Is D-23129 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use D-23129? Is D-23129 safe for nursing mother and child? Does D-23129 extracts into breast milk? Does D-23129 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can D-23129 influence milk supply or can D-23129 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About D-23129 usage in lactation
Because no information is available on use of D-23129 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If D-23129 is required by the mother, it is not necessarily a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but monitor the infant for drowsiness, agitation, adequate weight gain, and developmental milestones, especially in younger, exclusively breastfed infants and when using combinations of drugs.
