Answer by DrLact: About Etomidatum [INN-Latin] usage in lactation
Amounts of Etomidatum [INN-Latin] in milk are very small and decrease rapidly. Existing data indicate that no waiting period is required before resuming breastfeeding after Etomidatum [INN-Latin] 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.
