Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: 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). Limited information indicates that cimetidine is excreted in breastmilk in small amounts and would produce infant serum levels much less than those with direct dosages to the neonates. Due to the potential to cause hepatic enzyme inhibition, other drugs may be preferred. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 15 September 2010).
