Answer by Dr. Ru: About 6-Azamianserin usage in lactation
Excreted into breast milk in a clinically non-significant amount. Plasma level of breastfed infants from treated mothers with Mirtazapine are usually undetectable or very low. Not significant clinically based side-effects in the infants both at short and long-term have been observed. Isolated cases of galactorrhea have been reported. The poor extrauterine adaptation that may appear in neonates just after birth when the pregnant woman has been treated with selective reuptake-inhibitors of Serotonin like Venlafaxine or Mirtazapine, is seen to be mild if the baby is breastfed.
