Answer by Dr. Ru: About BRL 20596 usage in lactation
Benzamide derivative agent which is similar to Metoclopramide but with higher extrapyramidal side-effects and poorly known pharmacokinetics. At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. As with Metoclopramide it produces increased secretion of Prolactin. Until more data on this medication is available, safer alternative drugs are preferred, especially in such critical age periods.
