Answer by Dr. Ru: About EINECS 268-472-2 usage in lactation

At latest update no published data were found on excretion into breast milk. Its high plasma protein-binding capacity makes it unlikely the passage to the milk, however, it has a very long elimination time. It can cause QT prolongation on the EKG and serious cardiac arrhythmias. It has been withdrawn from the market in many countries.
