Answer by Dr. Ru: About Nabumetona usage in lactation
Latest update failed to find relevant data on breastfeeding. Both a high molecular weight and high plasma protein-binding makes excretion into breast milk unlikely. The infant is further protected because of a low oral bioavailability. Until more information on this drug concerning breastfeeding is available, a safer alternative should be preferred.
