Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use UNII-12G01I6BBU? Is UNII-12G01I6BBU safe for nursing mother and child? Does UNII-12G01I6BBU extracts into breast milk? Does UNII-12G01I6BBU has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can UNII-12G01I6BBU influence milk supply or can UNII-12G01I6BBU decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About UNII-12G01I6BBU usage in lactation
Because no information is available on use of UNII-12G01I6BBU during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If UNII-12G01I6BBU 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.
