Is Iodohippurate Sodium I 125 Safe in Breastfeeding

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Iodohippurate Sodium I 125? Is Iodohippurate Sodium I 125 safe for nursing mother and child? Does Iodohippurate Sodium I 125 extracts into breast milk? Does Iodohippurate Sodium I 125 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Iodohippurate Sodium I 125 influence milk supply or can Iodohippurate Sodium I 125 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Information in this record refers to the use of iodohippurate sodium I 125 (ortho-iodohippurate sodium I 125; I 125 OIH) as a kidney function diagnostic agent. The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission states that breastfeeding need not be interrupted after administration of I 125 OIH in doses up to 3 MBq (0.08 mCi) to a nursing mother.[1] However, some experts recommend nursing the infant just before administration of the radiopharmaceutical and interrupting breastfeeding for 12 to 18 hours after the dose.[2][3][4] 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.[2][5][6] Mothers concerned about the level of radioactivity in their milk could ask to have it tested at a nuclear medicine facility at their hospital. When the radioactivity is at a safe level she may resume breastfeeding. A method for measuring milk radioactivity and determining the time when a mother can safely resume breastfeeding has been published.[7]
