Answer by Dr. Ru: About Dexketoprofen usage in lactation
Active enantiomer derivated from Ketoprofen. Ketoprofen is excreted into breast milk in non-significant amount. Hence, reportedly gastrointestinal side effects on breastfed infants are hardly believable. When apply on skin systemic absorption is very low.
