C16H13Cl2NO4

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug similar to diclofenac, used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Oral administration twice daily.

At the date of the last review, we found no published data on breastfeeding.

Its high binding to plasma proteins and large volume of distribution make it unlikely to pass into milk. Diclofenac, from the same family of anti-inflammatory drugs, is eliminated in non-significant quantities in breast milk and is considered compatible with breastfeedin. (Hutchinson 2013)

Alternatives

  • Diclofenac (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Ibuprofen (Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)

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.
