INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC DRUGS


The tables on this page list medications in three categories:
  • Common medications that are safe to use while breastfeeding
  • Drugs that require careful monitoring by a physician when taken while breastfeeding
  • Drugs that should not be used while breastfeeding.
Talking with your health professional about any medication you take is very important, and a nursing mother should always remind her physician that she is breastfeeding when decisions are being made about medications.
If you need additional information about a medication, or if you need information about a medication not listed in these tables, please consult additional sources of information.
