I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use GSK-1160724? Is GSK-1160724 safe for nursing mother and child? Does GSK-1160724 extracts into breast milk? Does GSK-1160724 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can GSK-1160724 influence milk supply or can GSK-1160724 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About GSK-1160724 usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of GSK-1160724 during breastfeeding. Because the drug is only 3% absorbed orally, it is unlikely to affect the breastfed infant. Long-term use of GSK-1160724 might reduce milk production or milk letdown. During long-term use, observe for signs of decreased lactation (e.g., insatiety, poor weight gain).
