Answer by DrLact: About 2-(3-(sup 18)f)Fluoro-4-(methylamino)phenyl)-1,3-benzothiazol-6-ol usage in lactation

Information in this record refers to the use of 2-(3-(sup 18)f)Fluoro-4-(methylamino)phenyl)-1,3-benzothiazol-6-ol as a diagnostic agent. No information is available on the use of 2-(3-(sup 18)f)Fluoro-4-(methylamino)phenyl)-1,3-benzothiazol-6-ol during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends withholding breastfeeding for 24 hours after a diagnostic dose of 185 MBq (5 mCi). This length of time is about 10 half-lives of fluoride F 18 and less than 0.01% of the radioactivity administered will remain in the body. The mother can nurse just before administration of the radiopharmaceutical. If the mother has expressed and saved milk prior to the examination, she can feed it to the infant during the period of nursing interruption.[1][2][3]
