Answer by DrLact: About Etomidato [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation

Amounts of Etomidato [INN-Spanish] in milk are very small and decrease rapidly. Existing data indicate that no waiting period is required before resuming breastfeeding after Etomidato [INN-Spanish] anesthesia. Breastfeeding can be resumed as soon as the mother has recovered sufficiently from general anesthesia to nurse. When a combination of anesthetic agents is used for a procedure, follow the recommendations for the most problematic medication used during the procedure.
