Answer by Dr. Ru: About RU 31158 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 doses of benzodiazepine are compatible with breastfeeding. Use a short-acting benzodiazepine and minimal effective dose as possible mostly in neonatal period. Follow-up for sedation and feeding ability of the infant. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication.
