The original article on safety of ibuprofen that I remember is in AJOG,1984, May 15, p 184-6 by Townsend, Benedetti et al that documents that" ...No measurable amounts of ibuprofen were found in the samples of breast milk." More recently, a similar article was published in the Brit J Clin Pharmacol, 2006 Jan:61(1):101-4. THE CONCLUSION:The relative dose of celecoxib (CELEBREX) to which infants are exposed to via milk is very low, suggesting that breast feeding during routine dosing would pose minimal risk. Unfortunately, your young partner wasn't out of grammar school yet and did not read the original article and very few of us still have hard copies of Journals from the 60's on. It should go without saying that research on drugs in breast milk is so simple and cheap it ought to be required by FDA. Any BF mother who is ready to stop BF could stop, pump, take a drug till steady state achieved and get aliquots of breast milk for assay-which any company can do at a minimum of expense.

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.
