I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Piocaine? Is Piocaine safe for nursing mother and child? Does Piocaine extracts into breast milk? Does Piocaine has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Piocaine influence milk supply or can Piocaine decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the use of Piocaine during breastfeeding. Based on the low excretion of other local anesthetics into breastmilk and the extremely short half-life of Piocaine, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. However, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
