Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Chlorprocainum usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Chlorprocainum during breastfeeding. Based on the low excretion of other local anesthetics into breastmilk and the extremely short half-life of Chlorprocainum, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. However, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
