Colésévélam, Chlorhydrate de

Very Low Risk

Safe. Compatible. Minimal risk for breastfeeding and infant.

Resina-polímero que disminuye la absorción intestinal de ácidos biliares y colesterol.
Administración oral una o dos veces al día.

A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados en relación con la lactancia.

La absorción intestinal del fármaco es nula (EMA 2017, Heller 2002, Steinmetz 2002), por lo que ni puede pasar a leche materna, ni pasaría a plasma del lactante a partir de la leche materna ingerida.

Es poco probable que pueda alterar la composición lipídica de la leche. Los lactantes necesitan ingerir cantidades elevadas de colesterol, ya que es fundamental para el correcto desarrollo del sistema nervioso, de las membranas celulares y es precursor de varias hormonas y vitaminas.

Parece interferir menos que otras resinas hipolipemiantes con la absorción de vitaminas liposolubles (A, D, E, K).

Diversos expertos consideran probablemente seguro el uso de esta medicación durante la lactancia (Hale 2017 p232, Briggs 2015).

Conviene seguir una dieta hipolipemiante.
Suspender el tratamiento farmacológico de la hipercolesterolemia durante el periodo de lactancia no es probable que altere significativamente el resultado a largo plazo de la enfermedad.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
