(E)-1-(Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-4-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)piperazine is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. No information is available on the use of (E)-1-(Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-4-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)piperazine during breastfeeding. Because of its long half-life of 19 days in children, expert opinion recommends that (E)-1-(Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-4-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)piperazine not be used in migraine prophylaxis.[1][2][3] An alternate drug is preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
