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

Iomeprol is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. Labeling for the drug in the United Kingdom and guidelines developed by several professional organizations state that breastfeeding need not be disrupted after a nursing mother receives a iodine-containing contrast medium such as iomeprol.[1][2][3][4][5]
