Phenergan is not to be used for children under the age of 2.
Lactmed says "Possible Effects on Lactation:
Unlike most phenothiazines, promethazine usually causes a reduction in basal prolactin secretion in nonnursing women.[1][2] The effect on nursing mothers is not known, but promethazine might interfere with the establishment of lactation if given in the early postpartum period. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed."
My question is about the use of promethazine in labor, cesarean section or early postpartum. Does this drug have an impact on breastfeeding or lactation?
Thank you.
