Answer by DrLact: About SC 7031 usage in lactation
SC 7031 is sometimes found in the plasma of nursing infants at levels of 7.5-12.5% of the mother's levels. The N-monodesalkylSC 7031 (NMD) metabolite is more anticholinergic than SC 7031 itself and appears in breastmilk in levels higher than SC 7031. However, of the cases reported, there are no reports of infant effects. SC 7031 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, SC 7031 might decrease the milk supply.
