Cimetidine would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants, especially if the infant is older than 2 months. However, because of its potential for causing hepatic enzyme inhibition, other drugs might be preferred. Cimetidine can increase serum prolactin and it has been used, but not validated, as a galactogogue.">

Lactation</h3><p>Maternal cimetidine doses of 1000 to 1200 mg daily result in infant dosages that are much less than reported neonatal dosages of 5 to 10 mg/kg daily. Cimetidine would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants, especially if the infant is older than 2 months. However, because of its potential for causing hepatic enzyme inhibition, other drugs might be preferred. Cimetidine can increase serum prolactin and it has been used, but not validated, as a galactogogue.</p></div><div id="LM341.Drug_Levels"><h3>Drug Levels</h3><p><i>Maternal Levels.</i> After a single oral dose of 400 mg of cimetidine, the peak milk level of 5 mg/L occurred about 3 hours after the dose and was about equal to the peak serum level in a woman who had been breastfeeding for 6 months. Milk levels remained higher than serum levels for the duration of the dosing interval. With a multiple-dose regimen of 200 mg 3 times daily and 400 mg at bedtime, milk levels just prior to the doses were relatively constant between 4.9 and 6 mg/L.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM341.REF.1" rid="LM341.REF.1">1</a>] These levels indicate that a fully breastfed infant would receive between 0.74 and 0.9 mg/kg daily.</p><p>Twelve healthy, lactating human volunteers who were 6 to 45 weeks postpartum were given single doses of cimetidine 100 mg, 600 mg and 1200 mg on 3 different days within a 15-day period. Blood and milk samples were donated before each dose and 11 times over the next 24 hours. Average peak cimetidine levels in milk occurred at 3.3 hours after the dose. The dose-normalized peak milk level was 2.5 to 3.1 mg/L for each 100 mg of dosage. The half-life in milk was 2.5 hours, which was longer than in serum (1.4 hours).[<a class="bibr" href="#LM341.REF.2" rid="LM341.REF.2">2</a>] Using data from the paper, a fully breastfed infant whose mother was receiving 1200 mg daily would receive an average dose of 1.4 mg/kg daily, which is in the neonatal dosage range. Average milk values equated to a steady-state weight-adjusted relative infant dose of 1.1% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM341.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM341.Effects_on_Lactation_and_Breastmil"><h3>Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk</h3><p>Histamine H2-receptor blockade is known to stimulate prolactin secretion.
