New drug KarXT tested in breast milk: what it means for nursing moms
NCT ID NCT07257120
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how much of the drug KarXT (xanomeline/trospium chloride) gets into the breast milk and blood of 10 healthy women who were breastfeeding. The goal was to measure drug levels and estimate how much an infant might be exposed to. The results will help guide safe use of KarXT during breastfeeding.
