I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Iocanlidic Acid I 123? Is Iocanlidic Acid I 123 safe for nursing mother and child? Does Iocanlidic Acid I 123 extracts into breast milk? Does Iocanlidic Acid I 123 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Iocanlidic Acid I 123 influence milk supply or can Iocanlidic Acid I 123 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Information in this record refers to the use of iocanlidic acid I 123 (123I iodophenylpentadecanoic acid; I 123 IPPA) as a diagnostic agent. The International Commission on Radiological Protection states that breastfeeding should be interrupted for more than 3 weeks following diagnostic use of I 123 IPPA. This usually will result in permanent discontinuation of breastfeeding for this infant.[1] Mothers concerned about the level of radioactivity in their milk could ask to have it tested at a nuclear medicine facility at their hospital. When the radioactivity is at a safe level she may resume breastfeeding. A method for measuring milk radioactivity and determining the time when a mother can safely resume breastfeeding has been published.[2]
