6-Chloro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulphonamide 1,1-dioxide

Compatible

Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Thiazide diuretic with action and uses similar to hydrochlorothiazide. Indicated in the treatment of hypertension and edema secondary to heart failure. Oral administration once-twice a day.

Milk levels of a mother who took 500 mg of chlorothiazide were undetectable or very low, <1 mg / L.(Werthmann 1972)

Despite some older studies, there is no scientific evidence that diuretics reduce breast milk production. (Anderson 2018, Rowe 2013)

Several medical societies, experts and expert consensus, consider the use of this medication safe or probably safe during breastfeeding (Briggs 2015, Hale 2017 p190). American Academy of Pediatrics: Maternal Medication Usually Compatible With Breastfeeding. (AAP 2001)

Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs may compromise the state of hydration of the nursing mother. Must make an adjustment (decrease) of the dose based on the estimated milk production and monitor milk production.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for 6-Chloro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulphonamide 1,1-dioxide since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
