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.

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. Intravenous 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.
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.
