Is it allowed to take Lorazepam during lactation? |
|
|
Short-acting Benzodiazepine drug. Excretion into breast milk is non-significant (Whitelaw 1981, Summerfield 1985 , Lemmer 2007). No harmful effects on breastfed infants have appeared at a normal dose (Kelly 2012). Unusual and low doses of benzodiazepine are compatible with breastfeeding. Use a short-acting benzodiazepine and minimal effective dose as possible mostly in neonatal period. Follow-up for sedation and feeding ability of the infant. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication. |
