Answer by DrLact: About GW 582892X usage in lactation
Because no information is available on use of GW 582892X during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If GW 582892X 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.
