Breast-feeding
As flupentixol is found in breast milk in low concentrations it is not likely to affect the infant when therapeutic doses are used. The dose ingested by the infant is less than 0.5% of the weight related maternal dose (in mg/kg).
It is not known whether melitracen is excreted in breast milk.
However, another tricyclic antidepressant, amitriptyline, is found in breast milk in low concentrations and it is not likely to affect the infant when therapeutic doses are used. The dose ingested by the infant is about 2% of the weight related maternal daily dose (in mg/kg). As melitracen has the same lipophilic properties as amitriptyline, it is assumed that it occurs in breast milk in similar concentrations.
Breast-feeding can be continued during Deanxit therapy if considered of clinical importance but observation of the infant is recommended, particularly in the first 4 weeks after giving birth.
