Answer by DrLact: About 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) usage in lactation

Breastmilk and infant serum levels of 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) and its active metabolite are somewhat unpredictable, but can be high during breastfeeding. The infant receives an estimated dose of 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) plus desethyl5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ranging from 3.5 to 45% of the mother's weight-adjusted 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) dose, with a median dose of about 11%.[1][2][3][4] Infant serum levels of the drug plus metabolite range from 14 to 74% of simultaneous maternal levels, with the higher values reflecting transplacental passage of the drug.[2][3][4] In addition to possible cardiac effects, these compounds contain a large amount of iodine which may be released during metabolism. Thyroid dysfunction was reported in one breastfed infant. Even if the drug were discontinued at birth, the mother would continue to excrete 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) and its metabolite (and possibly large amounts of iodine) into breastmilk for days to weeks. Some investigators believe that breastfeeding can be undertaken during maternal 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) use with periodic monitoring of infant cardiac and thyroid function status,[5][6] especially if only a single dose of 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) is given.[7] Infant serum levels of 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) and desethyl5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) may be useful for ruling out cardiac effects of the drug. If hypothyroidism develops, therapy should be promptly initiated.

5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) Side Effects in Breastfeeding

Several infants who breastfed without apparent harm during maternal 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) therapy have been reported.[2][3][4][10] One mother took 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) during the last 5 weeks of pregnancy and until one week after delivery. She was also taking metoprolol throughout pregnancy and at the time of delivery. Possible signs of hypothyroidism occurred transiently in her breastfed infant at 9 and 24 days of age. This was possibly caused by 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) or iodine from 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) in breastmilk, although residual 5-18-02-00353 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) from transplacental passage is also a possible contributing factor; no abnormalities in cornea or the lungs were found.[4]
