Answer by Dr. Ru: About o-Propionotoluidide, 2-propylamino- usage in lactation
Anesthetic drugs for topical use both dermatological and odontological have almost nil absorption when properly used. Do not apply on the breast. Otherwise, do it after having nursed and cleanse it thoroughly with water before next feeding.
Answer by DrLact: About o-Propionotoluidide, 2-propylamino- usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of o-Propionotoluidide, 2-propylamino- during breastfeeding. Based on the low excretion of other local anesthetics into breastmilk, a single dose of o-Propionotoluidide, 2-propylamino- injected during breastfeeding, such as for a dental procedure, is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. However, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Topical application of o-Propionotoluidide, 2-propylamino- to the mother is unlikely to affect her breastfed infant if it is applied away from the breast. Only water-miscible cream or gel products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[1]
