Supplemental Patient Information

Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Probably safe; as low levels of propranolol are excreted in breast milk, amounts ingested by the infants are too small to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. During lactation, hydrochlorothiazide at a dose of 50 mg daily or less is acceptable. Intense diuresis with large doses may decrease breast milk production. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 22 February 2011). As per the manufacturer's data, propranolol and hydrochlorothiazide are excreted in breast milk. If the use of drug is deemed essential, the patient should stop nursing.
