Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

At the date of the last update, there was no published data available on its excretion in human milk.
Its pharmacokinetic data (high percentage of protein binding and acid pKa) make it unlikely for it to pass into the mothers’ milk in a clinically significant amount.
It is a generally well-tolerated medication with infrequent or serious side effects. (Wei 2016, Frampton 2011)
Its use in Pediatrics is unauthorized.
