Supplemental Patient Information

Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Acetaminophen is good choice for analgesia as well as 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. Codeine is associated with drowsiness in breastfeed infants. Newborn infants seem to be particularly sensitive to the effects of even small dosages, particularly in the first week of life. Both acetaminophen and codeine literature suggests that 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 LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT). This drug is compatible and considered safe with breastfeeding based upon data from AAP Policy Guidelines (available at http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;108/3/776 last accessed 21 February 2011). Manufacturer advises to make a decision for discontinuing the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
