Geebelen:
Vasexten is not available in the USA, hence not in my book.
Barnidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker. It has a rather high molecular weight and I doubt much would enter the milk compartment, as with most all of the calcium channel blockers.
Further, only about 3-4% is bioavailable in the human, so 97% of what might be in milk, is NOT absorbed by the infant.
I'd guess it is probably safe to use in a breastfeeding situation.
Just observe for weakness and poor feeding. Unlikely, but something to watch for.
