Answer by DrLact: About Tolmetinum usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Tolmetinum 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 Tolmetinum use, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
