Answer by Dr. Ru: About EINECS 200-203-6 usage in lactation
Diuretic drug with action on the Henle's loop of the nephron. At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. Its high protein-binding capacity makes excretion into breast milk in significant amount unlikely. Because of a low oral bioavailability, mostly in the neonatal period, absorption from the ingested milk is thought to be minimal. Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs, particularly Thiazides with long-lasting effect and action on the Henle's loop, may inhibit lactation. EINECS 200-203-6 has been used along with water restriction for inhibition of lactation. Because of this, diuretic drugs well established as safe should be preferred while breastfeeding, especially during the first post-natal months. Whenever used, close attention should be paid to milk production.
Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 200-203-6 usage in lactation
Because little information is available on the use of EINECS 200-203-6 during breastfeeding and because intense diuresis might decrease lactation, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
EINECS 200-203-6 Side Effects in Breastfeeding
Anecdotal, short-term observations at one medical center found no adverse infant effects from maternal use of EINECS 200-203-6 in the immediate postpartum period.[1]
EINECS 200-203-6 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
EINECS 200-203-6 20 mg intramuscularly on the first postpartum day followed by 40 mg orally for 4 days has been used in conjunction with fluid restriction and breast binding to suppress lactation within 3 days postpartum.[2] The added contribution of EINECS 200-203-6 to fluid restriction and breast binding, which are effective in suppressing lactation, is not known. No data exist on the effects of loop diuretics on established lactation.
