[Epilepsy and breastfeeding: from myth to reality].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:In clinical practice, it is common to find cases of epileptic women being treated with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) whom we have to advise on the compatibility of these AEDs with breastfeeding. AIMS:In order to offer correct guidance, we must be well informed about the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the different AEDs, in addition to being aware of the clinical experience in this regard. This review stems from the paucity of information on this topic. DEVELOPMENT:The World Health Organisation recommends that breastfeeding should be the norm for all women, even in epileptic mothers that are taking AEDs, who must always be given special attention in order to watch for the appearance of adverse effects in the infant, and always avoiding sudden weaning in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms. CONCLUSIONS:Very few AEDs are incompatible with breastfeeding. The decision to breastfeed should take into account not only the AED, but also its number, dose, serum levels, transmission and elimination rates in the infant, and the conditions of the newborn infant. Ethosuximide and felbamate are probably high risk and incompatible with breastfeeding. Lamotrigine, phenobarbital, pregabalin, primidone, tiagabine, eslicarbazepine, brivaracetam, perampanel, zonisamide, lacosamide or the sporadic use of benzodiazepines in low doses are considered quite safe, with a low risk for breastfeeding. The other AEDs present a very low risk for breastfeeding. TITLE:Epilepsia y lactancia materna: del mito a la realidad. :Introduccion. En la practica clinica es habitual encontrar el caso de una mujer epileptica en tratamiento con farmacos antiepilepticos (FAE) a la que deberemos asesorar sobre la compatibilidad de esos FAE con la lactancia materna. Objetivo. Para realizar un asesoramiento correcto deberemos estar bien informados sobre las caracteristicas farmacocineticas de los diferentes FAE, asi como estar al tanto de la experiencia clinica al respecto. La intencion de esta revision nace de la escasez de informacion a este respecto. Desarrollo. La Organizacion Mundial de la Salud recomienda que la lactancia materna debe ser la norma en todas las mujeres, incluso en las madres epilepticas que toman FAE, a las cuales debe prestarse siempre especial atencion para vigilar la aparicion de efectos adversos en el lactante, eludiendo siempre el destete brusco para evitar el sindrome de abstinencia. Conclusiones. Son muy pocos los FAE incompatibles con la lactancia materna. La decision de amamantar debe tener en cuenta no solo el FAE, sino su numero, la dosis, los niveles sericos, los porcentajes de transmision y eliminacion en el lactante, y las condiciones del neonato. La etosuximida y el felbamato presentan un riesgo probablemente alto y son incompatibles con la lactancia materna. La lamotrigina, el fenobarbital, la pregabalina, la primidona, la tiagabina, la eslicarbacepina, el brivaracetam, el perampanel, la zonisamida, la lacosamida o el uso puntual y en bajas dosis de benzodiacepinas se consideran bastante seguros, con riesgo bajo para la lactancia. El resto de FAE presenta muy bajo riesgo para la lactancia materna.
