Tiludronate Sodium

Likely Compatibility

Fairly safe. Mild or unlikely adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Read Commentary.

It is an bisphosphonate, a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. It is indicated in the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone, bone metastases and malignant hypercalcemia. Oral administration.

At the date of last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.

Most bisphosphonates are acidic compounds with low plasma concentrations. Both characteristics make it unlikely that they will be excreted in milk in clinically significant quantities.

Intestinal absorption of bisphosphonates is very low even on an empty stomach and is considered practically null in the presence of milk because they form unabsorbable compounds with calcium.

Expert authors consider probably compatible the use of this medication during breastfeeding (Briggs 2015). Some authors recommend monitoring the infant's serum calcium levels during maternal treatment. (Stathopoulos 2011)

Tiludronate and Zoledronate have the longest half-lives period of elimination and thus they are the less indicated to take while breastfeeding. Until more data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding are known safer alternatives are preferable (LactMed, French 2003, Siminoski 2000), especially in the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.

  • Maternal Cancer; Maternal Neoplasia (Unsafe. Moderate/severe adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Use safer alternative or discontinue breastfeeding from 5 to 7 T ½ . Read Commentary.)
  • Maternal osteoporosis (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.
