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

It is a semi-synthetic opioid which is used to replace Methadone in the treatment of opioid addiction. Mothers on Buprenorphine showed a shorter mean hospital stay than those who were treated with Methadone. The amount of dose reaching the infant is minimal and has no untoward side effects. It has been noticed a mild and transient abstinence syndrome after birth when sudden withdrawn occurred. Addiction to narcotic drugs and the use of substitutive treatments lowers the breastfeeding rate and duration of nursing.
