Thiazide diuretic. Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs (particularly those Thiazides with long lasting effect and loop-acting drugs) may inhibit lactation. Use a lower dose as possible especially during the first postnatal month. Diretic used to supress lactation.

If BL H368 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Intense diuresis with large doses of BL H368 can decrease breastmilk production, especially during the neonatal period. Shorter-acting diuretics in low doses are preferred over BL H368.

BL H368 has been used to suppress lactation in oral doses of 5 mg twice daily for 5 days,[1] and in doses of 10 mg in the morning and 5 mg in the afternoon.[2] The added contribution of the diuretic to these measures, which are effective in suppressing lactation, has not been studied. There are no data on the effects of potent diuretics on established, ongoing lactation.
