Is it allowed to take Methylcloxazolam during lactation? |
|
Benzodiazepine drug with similar properties to Diazepam but with a longer acting period (Half-life > 130 hours) On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. Sedation and poor suction reflex in the infant may occur mostly at high dose and neonatal period. Eventual and low doses of benzodiazepine are compatible with breastfeeding. Use the 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. |
