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

Used for treatment of insomnia. It is excreted in non-significant clinical amount into breast milk. Foods with high fat content may delay absorption by the gut. A low oral bioavailability decreases the pass of it from the mother's milk to the infant's plasma, except in prematures or in the early neonatal period, when a higher intestinal absorption may occur. Not commercially available in Spain
