Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Sulfasalazine and its active metabolite mesalamine are poorly excreted into breastmilk. However, rather high levels of mesalamine metabolite N-acetyl-5-ASA appear in breast milk and the effects of these metabolites on breastfed infants are unknown. Carefully observe infants for diarrhea; other agents that do not contain a sulfonamide are preferred. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 14 March 2011). Manufacturer advises caution.
