Halopyramine Hydrochloride

High Risk

Poorly safe. Evaluate carefully. Use safer alternative or interrupt breastfeeding 3 to 7 T ½ (elimination half-lives). Read the Comment.

First generation antihistamine drug which is derived from ethylene diamine with important sedative and antimuscarinic effects. The anticholinergic effect may inhibit lactation.

At latest update no published data on excretion into breast milk was found.

Drug that is scarcely supported by bibliographical evidence, which is marketed in very few countries from Eastern Europe, Mexico ...

Until more published information about this drug regarding breastfeeding appears, it may be preferable the use of a known and safer alternative.

Alternatives

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.
