It is excreted in breastmilk in clinically insignificant amounts or not at all (Collin 2018, Bolea 2014, Spigset 2007, Hackett 2006) and no short or long term problems have been observed in infants whose mothers were taking it (Collin 2018, Rowe 2013, Bolea 2014, Spigset 2007, Hackett 2006).
The plasma levels of these infants were undetectable or very low (Bolea 2014, Hackett 2006).
