Like most ophthalmologic compounds for topical use a low dose and poor absorption make it compatible with breastfeeding. Systemic absorption is minimal. There have not been problems except when a maternal overdose was absorbed.
CAS Number: 59803-98-4
Limited information indicates that maternal use of brimonidine 0.2% ophthalmic drops do not adversely affect their nursing infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue. Topical brimonidine gel used to treat rosacea has not been studied during breastfeeding. It is unlikely that the topical gel would affect the breastfed infant, but the manufacturer states that it should not be used during nursing. Until more data are available, an alternative topical agent might be preferred
It is always a good idea to keep your healthcare provider or doctor informed about your drug usage during pregnancy and breastfeeding but if you have not informed your doctor about Brimonidine Tartrate 0.25% / Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate 8% Gel and have used it then do not panic as Brimonidine Tartrate 0.25% / Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate 8% Gel is mostly safe in breastfeeding and should not cause any harm to your baby.
Usage of Brimonidine Tartrate 0.25% / Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate 8% Gel is safe for nursing mothers and baby, No worries.
