Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Cloroprocaina usage in lactation

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