Breastfeeding: Prolong use or high dose of cetirizine may cause drowsiness and other effects in the infant or decrease the milk supply if used before lactation is well established or in combination with a sympathomimetic such as pseudoephedrine. The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology recommends lower dose of cetirizine if an antihistamine is required during breastfeeding. Small amounts of pseudoephedrine in breastmilk are unlikely to harm the nursing infant, however may cause irritability occasionally. Acute decrease in milk production can occur with a single dose of pseudoephedrine and repeated doses may interfere with lactation. Therefore mothers of newborns whose lactation is not yet well established or having difficulties producing sufficient milk should not receive pseudoephedrine. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 23 February 2011). As per manufacturer's data as both cetirizine and pseudoephedrine are excreted in milk, use of cetirizine/pseudoephedrine is not recommended in nursing mothers.
