Is Zuclopenthixol Safe in Breastfeeding

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

Studies have failed to show any harmful effect on the infant. It is likely to be safer by using it orally on a daily basis than on IV slow-release dosage (depot).

Zuclopenthixol is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. Limited information indicates that maternal oral doses of up to 50 mg daily or depot injections of 72 mg every 2 weeks produce low levels in breastmilk and no detectable short-term adverse effects in the breastfed infants. No long-term data are available. Until more data are available, zuclopenthixol should be used with careful monitoring during breastfeeding. One international guideline recommends that women taking zuclopenthixol not breastfeed.[1]

Six women received zuclopenthixol during nursing. Five of the women were receiving 4 to 50 mg daily by mouth and one was receiving a depot injection of 72 mg every 2 weeks. Their breastfed infants range in age from 3 days to 10 months old, 5 of whom were 2 months or under. No immediate adverse effects such infant drowsiness were noted.[2]
