Answer by Dr. Ru: About Pancuronii bromidum usage in lactation
It is a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant drug with a peripheral action that is used as premedication for endotracheal intubation, general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. At latest update, no relevant published data concerning excretion into breast milk were found. Because a relatively high molecular-weight and a high protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk is thought to be low. It has a low oral bioavailability which means that absorption from the breast milk ingested may be low. Pancuronium should not prevent a mother from breast feeding her baby shortly after recovering from an anesthesia if she is in good condition. However, other muscle relaxants with a more rapid elimination time period and better known drugs are preferred.
Answer by DrLact: About Pancuronii bromidum usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of pancuronium during breastfeeding. Because it is highly polar and poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the breastmilk in high concentration or to reach the bloodstream of the infant.[1][2] When a combination of anesthetic agents is used for a procedure, follow the recommendations for the most problematic medication used during the procedure.
