Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Fenoldopam? Is Fenoldopam safe for nursing mother and child? Does Fenoldopam extracts into breast milk? Does Fenoldopam has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Fenoldopam influence milk supply or can Fenoldopam decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Fenoldopam usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of fenoldopam during breastfeeding. Because of its poor oral bioavailability and short half-life, any fenoldopam in milk is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. Also, fenoldopam can be given intravenously to infants. Unlike dopamine, it does not decrease serum prolactin concentrations and might not interfere with nursing.
Fenoldopam Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Unlike dopamine, fenoldopam infusion does not affect serum prolactin concentration in normal women.[1] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
