Answer by DrLact: About Molindona usage in lactation
Because there is no published experience with Molindona during breastfeeding, other antipsychotic agents are preferred.
Molindona Possible Effects in Breastfeeding
Galactorrhea has been reported with Molindona.[1][2] Hyperprolactinemia appears to be the cause of the galactorrhea.[3][4][5] The hyperprolactinemia is caused by the drug's dopamine-blocking action in the tuberoinfundibular pathway.[6] The maternal prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
