Drugs in Breast Milk Quick Reference Guide - uk medicines information
This guide is based on information compiled by the Trent and West Midlands Medicines Information Services. It contains a summary of the significance of the excretion of the commonly used drugs via breast milk, and their absorption by the infant.
It is intended to be used only to assess risk where the infant is normal, healthy, and born full-term. Infants born prematurely or who have serious illnesses present more complex problems, and such cases should be referred to one of the specialist centres above.
In the interests of clarity and easy reference this guide is limited to those drugs which are more commonly prescribed for breast-feeding mothers. It is not intended that it should include all drugs and non-inclusion does not imply safety.
The drugs have been listed in pharmacological groups and where available evidence suggests that members of generic groups behave similarly, the generic name is listed (e.g. phenothiazines, aminoglycosides).
The drugs have been classified in the light of currently available evidence and where information is scarce the drugs have been classified as requiring monitoring.
