Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Anesthetic drugs for topical use both dermatological and odontological have almost nil absorption when properly used. Do not apply on the breast. Otherwise, do it after having nursed and cleanse it thoroughly with water before next feeding.

Alternatives

  • Lidocaine (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.

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

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.
