| Abstract | Breast milk is the most beneficial nutrition a mother can give her infant. Fortunately, the dose of most drugs transferred into milk is small and does not lead to clinically significant effects on the infant. In almost all instances, the mother should be advised to continue breastfeeding. Certain medications are absolutely contraindicated, including anticancer agents, radioactive drugs, and those that inhibit milk production. However, most medications can be used safely. An improved understanding of the relationship between maternal and infant exposure to medications would provide a more enlightened understanding of the risk and benefit analysis for individual drugs. |
