◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Little published information is available on the use of duloxetine during breastfeeding; however, the dose in milk is low and serum levels were low in two breastfed infants. If duloxetine is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Expert opinion finds duloxetine acceptable to use during breastfeeding, and a safety scoring system finds duloxetine use to be possible to use cautiously during breastfeeding. An alternate drug that has been better studied may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Monitor the infant for drowsiness and adequate feeding, weight gain and developmental milestones, especially in younger, exclusively breastfed infants and when using combinations of psychotropic drugs. Galactorrhea has been reported in women taking duloxetine.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants:A partially nursing mother was taking duloxetine 90 mg and extended-release methylphenidate (Concerta) 36 mg daily for ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, and depression. She partially (amount not stated) breastfed her infant for about 1 month. At 6 months of age, infant's development was considered to be normal, except for recurrent pneumonia caused by congenital pulmonary airway malformation. Another mother took duloxetine 60 mg daily while partially (amount not stated) nursing her infant. At 6 weeks of age, no adverse events were observed in the exposed infant.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk:In a small prospective study, 8 primiparous women who were taking a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI; 3 taking fluoxetine and 1 each taking citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, paroxetine or sertraline) were compared to 423 mothers who were not taking an SRI. Mothers taking an SRI had an onset of milk secretory activation (lactogenesis II) that was delayed by an average of 16.7 hours compared to controls (85.8 hours postpartum in the SRI-treated mothers and 69.1 h in the untreated mothers), which doubled the risk of delayed feeding behavior compared to the untreated group. However, the delay in lactogenesis II may not be clinically important, since there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the percentage of mothers experiencing feeding difficulties after day 4 postpartum.
After one nonpregnant woman began taking duloxetine, her serum prolactin increased and previous galactorrhea, which had decreased after stopping venlafaxine, increased again. After stopping duloxetine, her prolactin decreased to normal and galactorrhea ceased.
A woman who was taking duloxetine at an unspecified dose for depression reported a milky discharge from her nipples. She had not experienced this effect with previous antidepressant therapy. Her serum prolactin was elevated, and an MRI of her head found no tumors. Duloxetine was stopped and she was treated with escitalopram 20 mg daily and cabergoline 0.5 mg twice weekly for one month. At this time her serum prolactin was normal and the galactorrhea had stopped.
In a study of cases of hyperprolactinemia and its symptoms (e.g., gynecomastia) reported to a French pharmacovigilance center, duloxetine was not found to have an increased risk of causing hyperprolactinemia compared to other drugs.
A woman taking duloxetine 60 mg daily for depression complained of a milky breast discharge, breast fullness, and breast pain, after taking the drug for a total of 10 weeks. Duloxetine was discontinued and bupropion was started. Two weeks after stopping duloxetine, galactorrhea improved. Six weeks after stopping duloxetine, her serum prolactin had dropped from the previous level of 37.9 mcg/L to 20.2 mcg/L. Her galactorrhea was probably caused by duloxetine.
A woman being treated for migraine with duloxetine 30 mg daily began to have bilateral galactorrhea during the tenth week of treatment. At that time and on repeated measurements, her serum prolactin level was within the normal range. Her galactorrhea ceased 3 days after discontinuation of duloxetine. The authors found that her galactorrhea was probably caused by duloxetine.
An observational study looked at outcomes of 2859 women who took an antidepressant during the 2 years prior to pregnancy. Compared to women who did not take an antidepressant during pregnancy, mothers who took an antidepressant during all 3 trimesters of pregnancy were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding upon hospital discharge. Mothers who took an antidepressant only during the third trimester were 75% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge. Those who took an antidepressant only during the first and second trimesters did not have a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding at discharge. The antidepressants used by the mothers were not specified.
A retrospective cohort study of hospital electronic medical records from 2001 to 2008 compared women who had been dispensed an antidepressant during late gestation (n = 575) to those who had a psychiatric illness but did not receive an antidepressant (n = 1552) and mothers who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 30,535). Women who received an antidepressant were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge than women without a psychiatric diagnosis, but no less likely to be breastfeeding than untreated mothers with a psychiatric diagnosis. None of the mothers were taking duloxetine.
A woman with major depressive disorder received duloxetine 40 mg twice daily. After 2 weeks, she developed menstrual irregularities and a milky discharge from her breasts. Her serum prolactin was elevated at 205 mcg/L. The duloxetine dosage was decreased to 60 mg once daily and aripiprazole was begun at 2.5 mg daily and then increased to 5 mg daily. Within 2 weeks, galactorrhea had stopped and the serum prolactin had decreased to 118 mcg/L. Six weeks later, serum prolactin was 39 mcg/L. The combination was continued for another 39 weeks with no return of galactorrhea.
A 16-year-old girl was admitted for depression and suicide attempts. She had previously experienced galactorrhea while taking risperidone and escitalopram. She was started on duloxetine 20 mg daily which was increased to 40 mg daily after 5 days. Two days later, small amounts of milk appeared from the right breast. Her serum prolactin was mildly elevated at 26 mcg/L. The dose was reduced to 20 mg daily and the milk production ceased.
A woman with depression was treated with duloxetine 30 mg daily for 1 month, then 60 mg daily. After 4 months of therapy she presented with amenorrhea, lactation and hyperprolactinemia. The patient was treated with cabergoline 0.5 mg twice weekly and duloxetine was discontinued. One month later, the serum prolactin level was normal.
A woman with multiple sclerosis had been treated with duloxetine 60 mg daily for pain and depression for 3 months. She noted a milk-like breast discharge for a month and her serum prolactin was elevated. Duloxetine was changed to escitalopram 10 mg daily. Within days, her galactorrhea stopped and her serum prolactin decreased. Cabergoline 0.25 mg twice weekly was instituted after other causes of hyperprolactinemia were ruled out. The dose was reduced after 3 months and her serum prolactin remained normal.
In a study of 80,882 Norwegian mother-infant pairs from 1999 to 2008, new postpartum antidepressant use was reported by 392 women and 201 reported that they continued antidepressants from pregnancy. Compared with the unexposed comparison group, late pregnancy antidepressant use was associated with a 7% reduced likelihood of breastfeeding initiation, but with no effect on breastfeeding duration or exclusivity. Compared with the unexposed comparison group, new or restarted antidepressant use was associated with a 63% reduced likelihood of predominant, and a 51% reduced likelihood of any breastfeeding at 6 months, as well as a 2.6-fold increased risk of abrupt breastfeeding discontinuation. Specific antidepressants were not mentioned.
