Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate? Is Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate safe for nursing mother and child? Does Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate extracts into breast milk? Does Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate influence milk supply or can Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate usage in lactation

Information in this record refers to the use of Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (rhenium-186 etidronate) as a therapeutic agent. No information is available on the therapeutic use of rhenium HEDP during breastfeeding. Because strontium can substitute for calcium in infant bones, the manufacturer and expert opinion recommend discontinuing breastfeeding before a nursing mother receives rhenium HEDP.[1]
