Oral use.

At the date of the last update, the authors did not find any published data on its excretion in breast milk.

The limited pharmacokinetic data available (low molecular weight, high pKa) make it likely that it may be transferred to breast milk in a possibly significant amount.

Product with very few bibliographic references, marketed in few countries. Considered a drug of low therapeutic utility (SEFAP 2012, INSALUD 2001).

Until more published data is known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives are preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.

In general, multiple drug combinations are not recommended, nor are drugs of unproven efficacy.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for N06BX04.

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.
