At latest update, relevant information on excretion into breast milk was not found.
Because of pharmacokinetic data it is likely excretion into breast milk, but though from very low plasma levels, usually below the detection threshold (100 pg/mL), so it is unlikely that the amount that could reach breast milk is significant.
Potential side effects (nausea, dyspepsia, and headache) are mild and well tolerated. (Murdin 2016)
Consider other better known options, otherwise follow-up the child for symptoms like nausea, crying and fussiness. Waiting to breastfeed for 3 to 4 hours after taking betahistine minimizes passage into milk.
