Is Tiotropium Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Tiotropium? Is Tiotropium safe for nursing mother and child? Does Tiotropium extracts into breast milk? Does Tiotropium has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Tiotropium influence milk supply or can Tiotropium decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Tiotropium usage in lactation
Although no published data exist on the use of tiotropium, its use produces negligible maternal serum levels and any drug in breastmilk would not be absorbed by the infant. The risk to the breastfed infant of maternal tiotropium inhalation is small.
