Answer by DrLact: About Tolmetine [INN-French] usage in lactation

Because of the low levels of Tolmetine [INN-French] in breastmilk and its short half-life, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. However, because there is no published experience with breastfeeding during Tolmetine [INN-French] use, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
