Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of apomorphine during breastfeeding. If apomorphine is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, apomorphine inhibits prolactin release in animals and might interfere with establishment of lactation. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
