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.

Centrally-acting non-narcotic antitussive, chemically related to codeine but devoid of central depressant effects (AEMPS 2014, Ida 1997).
Chemically similar to dextromethorphan (Shin 2011).
Administered orally 3 times a day.
A product which has very few bibliographical references.
Since the last update, we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its use is authorized in infants from 6 months of age.
Given its lack of sedative effects, use at a sufficient minimum dose and for non-prolonged periods would have low risk during breastfeeding.
As there is less published experience than with other drugs from the same group, safer known alternatives may be preferable during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.
