Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the use of suvorexant during breastfeeding. Because it is over 99% bound to plasma proteins, amounts in milk are likely to be small. If suvorexant is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If suvorexant is used, monitor the infant for sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain.
