It is a thiazide diuretic with actions and uses similar to those of hydrochlorothiazide. It is used for hypertension, edema, associated with heart failure, and kidney or liver disorders. It has been used for suppression of the onset of lactation (De Gezelle 1979). Oral administration once a day.
At the date of the last update we did not find any published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its pharmacokinetic data (very high percentage of protein binding, moderately high molecular weight and very wide volume of distribution) make it highly unlikely that significant quantities will pass into breast milk.
Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs (particularly those Thiazides with long lasting effect and loop-acting drugs) may inhibit lactation. Use a lower dose as possible, especially during the first postnatal month.
Expert authors consider the use of Bendroflumethiazide to be safe during breastfeeding. (Kearney 2018)
Until more published data is known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives are preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.
