  • Prucalopride in Breastfeeding Women With Constipation

    open to eligible females ages 18 years and up

    Prucalopride is a medicine used to treat constipation. The main aim of the study is to measure prucalopride concentrations in breast milk. Other aims are to check the growth and development of babies breastfed by their mothers who took prucalopride and to check if the babies had any side effects. During the study, participants will provide one set of milk samples over 24 hours using an electric breast pump. Breast milk samples will be collected at home and will be shipped to the laboratory. Also, participants will be asked questions during telephone interviews every 2 months in the first year of their baby's life. They will also be asked to complete growth and development questionnaires about their baby.

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    IMPAACT 2046/UPLIFT (Understanding Practices of Lactation and Infant Feeding decisions Together with women with HIV) is a multi-site, mixed-methods, observational cohort study. The purpose of the study is to explore infant feeding preferences, practices, and outcomes among mothers with HIV and their families in the United States. It will employ both qualitative and quantitative research methods to address existing knowledge gaps and to understand the clinical, behavioral, and social factors influencing infant feeding decisions. As part of the study's mixed method approach, a longitudinal cohort study of mothers and their infants will be established. The study also aims to pilot a national registry of breastfeeding women living with HIV in the United States.
