Diphencyprone (DPCP)

Likely Compatibility

Fairly safe. Mild or unlikely adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Read Commentary.

Uso tópico como sensibilizante de contacto en el tratamiento de la alopecia areata y las verrugas.

A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados sobre su excreción en leche materna.

La pequeña dosis y la escasa absorción plasmática de la mayoría de preparaciones dermatológicas tópicas hacen poco probable el paso de cantidad significativa a leche materna.
Se cree que tiene muy escasa absorción sistémica (PSM 2020), pero no hay datos publicados sobre la misma. Los efectos secundarios descritos son secundarios a la irritación local, no habiéndose descrito efectos sistémicos (Kuin 2015, Luk 2013)
Se ha utilizado en niños entre 4 meses y 18 años sin efectos secundarios de tipo sistémico (Salsberg 2012).

Hasta conocer más datos publicados sobre este fármaco en relación con la lactancia, pueden ser preferibles alternativas conocidas más seguras, especialmente durante el periodo neonatal y en caso de prematuridad.

The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
