Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:X

Breastfeeding: Norethindrone is considered the hormonal contraceptive of choice during lactation. The available evidence indicates that norethindrone does not adversely affect the composition of milk or its supply and the growth and development of the infant. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 06 May 2011). According to the manufacturer’s data, small amounts of progestins are excreted into the breast milk of nursing mothers. However, no adverse effects have been observed on breastfeeding performance or on the health, growth, or development of the infant, except for isolated instances of decreased milk production.
