Is it allowed to take Sibutramine during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

On latest update relevant published data on breastfeeding were not found. Because of high protein-binding, excretion into breast milk seems unlikely. Medication used as anorexigen. Amphetamine-like drug that acts as reuptake inhibitor of Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine. May cause increase of Prolactin and Galactorrhea. Because of cardiovascular side effects (Arrhythmia, Hypertension, Heart infarction) several regulatory agencies (EMEA, FDA) have withdrawn it from the market in many countries. Breastfeeding mothers return to their pre- pregnancy body weight sooner than others who don't.
