Drug Levels and Effects

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of gepirone during breastfeeding. The drug has poor oral bioavailability, so the infant is unlikely to absorb large amounts. Monitor breastfed infants for adverse reactions, such as irritability, restlessness, excessive somnolence, decreased feeding, and weight loss. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
