Re: Motrin and breastfeedingFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Apr 11 17:48:33 2006
Always used it, never had a problem. The theoretical concern in pregnancy is premature closure of the PDA in the third trimester. After delivery, you want the ductus arteriosis to close, so "where's the beef." Briggs's "Drugs in Pregnancy and lactation states it is compatible with breast feeding. It is excreted into breast milk, but very small amounts, some studies were unable to detect the drug. Baby's dose according to another study was quite small, 0.0008% of the mother's dose. Ronald E.

We have always done it here and it is about the best thing for afterpains, but the new OB says he doesn't give it. Neither one of them could give supporting documentation, so I am asking what is the general consensus for you guys. If not, why? They asked me to see what the list thought about it.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
