Many mothers need to take medication during their pregnancy and almost all medicines pass into breast milk in small quantities. Most medicines are generally considered safe but some that must be avoided include lithium, cytotoxic agents, retinoids, and radio-pharmaceuticals. Search or browse the list below for guidelines on taking individual drugs while breastfeeding.
Note: Always consult your doctor or healthcare specialist for medical advice in relation to drug use while pregnant or breastfeeding.
