Answer by DrLact: About AR-13324 usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of AR-13324 during breastfeeding. Because AR-13324 poorly absorbed by the mother after administration to the eye, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. Until more data become available, AR-13324 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
