Φλεκαϊνίδη Οξική

Very Low Risk

Safe. Compatible. Minimal risk for breastfeeding and infant.

Although it is concentrated in the milk, the theoretical dose ingested by the infant does not reach 6% of the therapeutic dose (Wagner 1990, McQuinn 1990), even with a maternal dose as high as 200 mg daily.

American Academy of Pediatrics: medication usually compatible with breastfeeding.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Φλεκαϊνίδη Οξική since it is relatively safe.

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.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia
