Supplemental Patient Information

Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Lidocaine concentrations excreted in milk during continuous IV infusion, epidural administration and in high doses as a local anesthetic are low and it is poorly absorbed by the infant.No special precautions are required as it is unexpected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Literature unavailable on the use of prilocaine during breastfeeding says that a single dose of prilocaine injected during breastfeeding is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. Prefer an alternate drug especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Topical use of prilocaine is unlikely to affect her breastfed infant. This information is based on LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 14 December 2010). According to manufacturer’s data, caution is advised as lidocaine/prilocaine is excreted in human milk.
