I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate? Is 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate safe for nursing mother and child? Does 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate extracts into breast milk? Does 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate influence milk supply or can 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the use of 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate during breastfeeding. Based on the low excretion of other local anesthetics into breastmilk and the short half-life of 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate, a single dose of 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate 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. Note that many people mistakenly equate the terms "Novocaine" (2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate) and local anesthesia. The exact identity of any local anesthetic should be verified rather than assuming that patients are receiving 2-Diethylaminoethyl 4-aminobenzoate.
