Re : Risperidone (Risperdal)
The manufacturer reports that Risperdal is transferred into animal milk, but
no data is available on humans. I have recently reviewed this medication and I
can assure you that it is a potent antipsychotic agent with numerous side
effects, including hyperprolactinemia and a lot of other effects.
I do not think that at this time it would be safe to recommend this mom
continue to breastfeed if this medication is used.
Sorry...

Dear Dr. Hale: I'm still working with the mother, 6 weeks pp who is
Manic-Depressive. Dr. has now switched her to Risperdal 1/nite. Don't know
the concentration of dosage. She is currently pumping and dumping. Do you
know anything about this med for bf mothers? Thanks...
