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

It is a μ-opioid receptor antagonist that accelerates intestinal transit. Prescribed after intestinal surgery procedures. Since oral absorption and plasma levels are very low secretion into breast milk is thought to be minimal.
