Based on this medication's long half-life (50 hours), smaller size (396.5 Daltons), and moderate protein binding (71%), it is expected that this medication could enter human milk to some degree. However, due to this medication's massive volume of distribution, it is unlikely much will stay in the plasma compartment of the mother or enter the milk compartment. It is probably compatible for use in a breastfeeding mother. Monitor your baby for: Vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, and urinary retention.
