Answer by DrLact: About Disopyramidum [INN-Latin] usage in lactation
Disopyramidum [INN-Latin] is sometimes found in the plasma of nursing infants at levels of 7.5-12.5% of the mother's levels. The N-monodesalkylDisopyramidum [INN-Latin] (NMD) metabolite is more anticholinergic than Disopyramidum [INN-Latin] itself and appears in breastmilk in levels higher than Disopyramidum [INN-Latin]. However, of the cases reported, there are no reports of infant effects. Disopyramidum [INN-Latin] may be used cautiously while breastfeeding when other alternatives are unacceptable. Observe the infant for anticholinergic symptoms. Infant serum concentrations can be monitored if there is any concern about drug-induced adverse effects. Theoretically, Disopyramidum [INN-Latin] might decrease the milk supply.
