Answer by Dr. Ru: About Teletrast usage in lactation
It contains 67% of Iodine. A number of dye materials (iodine based or not) used on diagnostic imaging procedures (x-Ray, CAT scan, MRI) are compatible with breastfeeding since they are inert, metabolize rapidly without leaving free iodine and are not or very little absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
