Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of amifampridine during breastfeeding on the presence of amifampridine or the 3-N-acetyl-amifampridine metabolite in breastmilk. If amifampridine is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but the infant should be carefully monitored for excessive crying or fussiness, adequate weight gain, and developmental milestones.
