Is Pitavastatin Safe in Breastfeeding

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Pitavastatin? Is Pitavastatin safe for nursing mother and child? Does Pitavastatin extracts into breast milk? Does Pitavastatin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Pitavastatin influence milk supply or can Pitavastatin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

No relevant published information exists on the use of pitavastatin during breastfeeding. Because of a concern with disruption of infant lipid metabolism, the consensus is that pitavastatin should not be used during breastfeeding. However, others have argued that children homozygous for familial hypercholesterolemia are treated with statins beginning at 1 year of age, that statins have low oral bioavailability, and risks to the breastfed infant are low, especially with rosuvastatin and pravastatin.[1] Until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
