Answer by DrLact: About (S)-( )-Methyl (2-chlorophenyl)(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno(3,2-c)pyrid-5-yl)acetate bisulfate usage in lactation
No published information is available on the use of (S)-( )-Methyl (2-chlorophenyl)(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno(3,2-c)pyrid-5-yl)acetate bisulfate during breastfeeding. The manufacturer reports that no adverse effects have been observed in breastfed infants with maternal (S)-( )-Methyl (2-chlorophenyl)(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno(3,2-c)pyrid-5-yl)acetate bisulfate use during lactation in a small number of postmarketing cases. If (S)-( )-Methyl (2-chlorophenyl)(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno(3,2-c)pyrid-5-yl)acetate bisulfate is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, since no published information is available on the use of (S)-( )-Methyl (2-chlorophenyl)(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno(3,2-c)pyrid-5-yl)acetate bisulfate during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
