Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:D

Breastfeeding: Possibly unsafe; effects in infants, including sedation have been reported. Breast fed infants receive a dose of 0.5-5 mcg/kg/day or about 3% of the maternal weight adjusted dosage. A shorter acting benzodiazepine without active metabolites is preferred based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 4 January 2011). Benzodiazepines are excreted in human milk; infants may lose weight and become lethargic due to maternal doses. Manufacturer advises that nursing women should not use alprazolam.
