塩酸モリンドン

Limited compatibility

Unsafe. Moderate/severe adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Use safer alternative or discontinue breastfeeding from 5 to 7 T ½ . Read Commentary.

It is a typical, first generation antipsychotic with general properties similar to those of chlorpromazine, that is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychoses. Oral or intramuscular administration.

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.

The few known pharmacokinetic data do not allow to predict the possible passage into breast milk.

Product with very few bibliographical references and marketed in few countries.

It can cause galactorrhea. (Wesp 1979, Kahn 1979)

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

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.

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
