Is it allowed to take Lormetazepam during lactation? |
|
Benzodiazepine of short-term action. It is excreted into breastmilk in clinically non-significant amount without problems been observed in infants from treated mothers (Humpel 1982, Lemmer 2007). Drug plasma levels in these infants were undetectable or either very low (Humpel 1982). Infrequent use and a low dose of benzodiazepines is compatible with breastfeeding. Short-acting Benzodiazepines should be chosen along with a minimum effective dose as possible, especially in the neonatal period. Assess for drowsiness and inappropriate infant feeding pattern. It is not recommended bed-sharing with your baby if you are on this medication. |
