Answer by DrLact: About Dexmedetomidina [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation
Limited data indicate that very small amounts of Dexmedetomidina [INN-Spanish] are excreted into breastmilk for 6 hours after the end of an infusion. Because of the small amounts of colostrum secreted in the first day postpartum, the dose received by a neonate is unlikely to be of any consequence when the drug is used during delivery. The drug is absent from breastmilk by 24 hours after the end of an infusion. Dexmedetomidina [INN-Spanish] would not be expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants or neonates.
