Product with very few and very old bibliographic references, marketed in few countries.
The virtual absence of pharmacokinetic data does not allow the prediction of its possible excretion in human milk.
Tuaminoheptane has been on the list of prohibited substances by the World Anti-Doping Agency since 2007. (Docherty 2008, Thevis 2007)
Urine levels are detected up to 2 to 4 days after intranasal administration. (Perrenoud 2009, Thevis 2007).
The isolated application, occasional, not continuous and without exceeding the prescribed dose could be compatible with breastfeeding.
Until more published data are known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.
