Answer by Dr. Ru: About SR 141716 usage in lactation

In spite of the fact that it is highly attached to serum proteins should be avoid while nursing because it is a newly appeared medication, a long standing effect (10 – 15 days), possibility to alter the baby’s appetite, needs to be taken for a long time (months or years), poor effect on weight loosing. Hypo-caloric diet and exercise are advisable. Breastfeeding women recover their pre-pregnancy body weight sooner than bottle-feeding mothers.
