Milk was collected for 72 hours after the dose in 2 of the women in whom half-lives in breastmilk were 8.3 and 15.5 hours. The average peak milk level in the 6 women was 13.5 mcg/L at 2.8 hours after the dose. The average drospirenone milk level in the first 24 hours was 3.7 mcg/L (range 1.4 to 7 mcg/L). The authors estimated that a fully breastfed infant would receive a drospirenone dose of about 3 mcg daily.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM480.REF.1">1</a>] Using the average milk level of drospirenone, an exclusively breastfed infant would receive 1.1% of the weight-adjusted maternal dosage of drospirenone.</p><p>Twelve women who had weaned their infants, but were still lactating were given non-micronized oral drospirenone 4 mg daily (Slinda-Exeltis, Germany). Blood and milk samples were obtained at 12 time points up to 120 hours after at least 7 days of use. The average peak concentration in milk was 10.3 mcg/L at 3 hours after the dose and the average milk concentration over 24 hours would be 5.6 mcg/L. Using the standard milk intake value of 150 mL/kg daily, the infant would receive an average of 0.84 mcg/kg of drospirenone daily, which represent a weight-adjusted relative infant dose of 1.25% of the maternal dose.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM480.REF.2">2</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM480.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="LM480.Effects_on_Lactation_and_Breastmil"><h3>Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk</h3><p>Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM480.Alternate_Drugs_to_Consider"><h3>Alternate Drugs to Consider</h3><p><a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM622/">Etonogestrel</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM1089/">Intrauterine Copper Contraceptive</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM421/">Oral Levonorgestrel</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM1335/">Intrauterine Levonorgestrel</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM1336/">Levonorgestrel Implant</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM415/">Medroxyprogesterone Acetate</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM419/">Norethindrone</a>, <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM470/">Progesterone</a></p></div><div id="LM480.References"><h3>References</h3><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="LM480.REF.1">Blode
