Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: The active metabolite present in infant serum may cause excessive sedation; so an alternative drug may be preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If doxepin is required by the mother of an older infant, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but the infant should be monitored for excessive sedation. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 4 March 2011). As per the manufacture's data, caution should be exercised when administered to nursing women.
