Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:NR

Breastfeeding: IV iodinated contrast media are poorly excreted into breastmilk and poorly absorbed orally, hence are unlikely to affect breastfed infants. Guidelines developed by several professional organizations state that nursing need not be discontinued after a nursing woman receives an iodine-containing contrast medium. However, no information is available regarding iodipamide use during breastfeeding; hence, an alternate agent may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
