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

Antidepressant effects similar to other selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors. At latest update relevant published data on its excretion into breast milk were not found. Pharmacokinetic data (high volume of distribution and high protein-binding capacity) make it unlikely the excretion into breastmilk in significant amount. Until more published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding, a safer known alternative with a lower half-life span, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity, may be preferred.
