Answer by DrLact: About (15O)Water usage in lactation

Information in this record refers to the use of (15O)Water as a diagnostic agent. No information is available on the use of (15O)Water during breastfeeding. The International Commission on Radiological Protection states that breastfeeding need not be interrupted after administration of oxygen 15 radiopharmaceuticals because of the isotope's short half-life.[1]
