Iomeprolum is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. Labeling for the drug in the United Kingdom and guidelines developed by several professional organizations state that breastfeeding need not be disrupted after a nursing mother receives a iodine-containing contrast medium such as Iomeprolum.[1][2][3][4][5]
