Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-OL961R6O2C usage in lactation
At latest update no published data were found on excretion into breast milk. Evidence on other antihypertensive drugs of the same family with similar structure, pharmacokinetics and action profile (nifedipine, nimodipine, nicardipine) has shown that they are excreted into milk in non-significant amount.Its high plasma protein binding capacity makes it highly unlikely a passage into milk. It has been described an increased Prolactin plasma level and gynecomastia after using UNII-OL961R6O2C. Until more extensive published data about this drug regarding breastfeeding are available a safer alternative drug should be used, especially during the neonatal period and/or in case of premature infants.
