Теразозина Гидрохлорид

Likely Compatibility

Fairly safe. Mild or unlikely adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Read Commentary.

Alpha-1 adrenergic blocker used in the treatment of arterial hypertension and obstructive symptoms derived from benign prostatic hypertrophy. Oral administration once daily. 

At the time of the last update, we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk. 

Its pharmacokinetic data (moderately high molecular weight, very high percentage of protein binding, and high volume of distribution) make it unlikely that significant quantities will pass into milk. 

Pending further published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding, safer known alternatives may be preferable (Anderson 2018, Malachias 2016), especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.

Alternatives

  • Doxazosin Mesylate (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Finasteride (Fairly safe. Mild or unlikely adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Read Commentary.)
  • Labetalol Hydrochloride (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Methyldopa (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Metoprolol (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Nifedipine (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Nimodipine (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Propranolol (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Tamsulosin (Fairly safe. Mild or unlikely adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Read Commentary.)

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.
