Supplemental Patient Information

Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Acetaminophen component of this combination drug is a good choice for analgesia and for 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. Since no information is available regarding the use of pentazocine during breastfeeding, an alternate drug 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). Maternal medication of acetaminophen 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 23 June, 2011). Manufacturer advises caution.
