Answer by Dr. Ru: About Halazepamum [INN-Latin] usage in lactation
No data on breastfeeding mothers is available. Better option would be to use anxiolytic drugs known to be safer. Eventual and low dose use of benzodiacepines are compatible with breastfeeding. Use the short-acting benzodiazepine and minimal effective dose as possible mostly in the neonatal period. Follow-up for sedation and feeding ability of the infant. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication.
