Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Acetaminophen is a good choice for analgesia, and fever reduction in nursing mothers. Amounts excreted in milk are much less than doses usually given to infants. Adverse effects in breastfed infants appear to be rare. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT).Maternal medication is usually compatible with breastfeeding; no observable change was seen in the nursing infant while the mother was ingesting the compound. This information is based upon data from AAP Policy Guidelines (available at http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;108/3/776/T6 last accessed 31 May 2011). As no published data is available with butalbital or combination products containing butalbital during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 31 May 2011). As per manufacturer data because of potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from butalbital and acetaminophen, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
