This review provides a synopsis for clinicians on the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the breastfeeding mother. For each AED, we collected all retrievable data from Hale’s “Medications and Mother Milk” (2012), from the LactMed database (2013) Assuming a daily milk intake of 150 mL/day/kg, the infant dose of gabapentin was estimated to be 0.2-1.3 mg/kg/day, which is equivalent to 1.3-3.8% of the weight-normalized dose received by the mother. The plasma levels of gabapentin collected after 3 months of breastfeeding in another infant was 1.9 µM. Breastfeeding is so very vital to an infant’s health and development and should be guarded more vigilantly by our medical community. There truly is a small number of medications that are contraindicated for breastfeeding. Dr. Thomas Hale is the leading expert on breastfeeding and medications. Updated by renowned perinatal pharmacologist, Dr. Thomas W. Hale, Ph.D. The most current and up-to-date resource available on medications impact to the infant through breastfeeding mothers Mothers of normal term or older infants can resume pumping or direct breast feeding without interruption following anesthesia as soon as they are awake and alert. This is consistent with recent guidelines by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. (Dr. Thomas Hale, Medications & Mothers Milk) L1 - Compatible Drug which has been taken by a large number of breastfeeding mothers without any observed increase in adverse effects in the infant. Controlled studies in breastfeeding women fail to demonstrate a risk to the infant Drs. Thomas Hale and Kaytlin Krutsch have performed extensive research on the effects of medications in mother’s milk. They have given each medication a rating from Safest (L1) to Hazardous (L5). L1 Safest: Extensive evidence demonstrating no adverse effects on the infant. Gabapentin may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and dizziness. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and seek medical attention if experiencing serious side effects or changes in mood or behavior. Gabapentin is prescribed by healthcare professionals and should only be taken under medical supervision. Adult Dosage: This is the usual adult oral dose provided in the package insert. While these are highly variable, we chose the dose for the most common use of the medication. As the founding member of the InfantRisk Center, Dr. Hale is recognized as a leading authority in lactational pharmacology and perinatal medication safety. His pioneering work has significantly advanced the understanding of the use of medications by pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, helping to establish critical guidelines that prioritize Studies in breastfeeding mothers have demonstrated that there is significant and documented risk to the infant based on human experience, or it is a medication that has a high risk of causing significant damage Hale's Medications & Mothers' Milk is the ultimate resource for safe medication practices during breastfeeding. This meticulously updated edition offers the most current, evidence-based Hale's Medications & Mothers' Milk is the ultimate resource for safe medication practices during breastfeeding. This meticulously updated edition offers the most current, evidence-based information available, maintaining its reputation as the definitive standard for medication safety in lactation. There is positive evidence of risk to a breastfed infant or to breast-milk production, but the benefits from use in breastfeeding mothers may be acceptable despite the risk to the infant (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective). Dr. Hale's renowned "Lactation Risk Categories" incorporate recent updates; Key points and savvy tips about breastfeeding and medications for quick reference; Common abbreviations and drugs I have a long history of bad back pain. I have tried everything (2 surgeries, chiropractor, OT, PT, acupuncture, massage, injections, drugs). One thing that helped was Neurontin. I had to stop taking it when I got pregnant in October 2006, then couldn't take it while breastfeeding (for 2 years) then got pregnant again and am now breastfeeding my 2 month old. I am wondering if anyone has Controlled studies in breastfeeding women fail to demonstrate a risk to the infant and the possibility of harm to the breastfeeding infant is remote; or the product is not orally bioavailable in an infant. She is a clinical lactation pharmacology researcher interested in the intersection of medication, breastfeeding, translational health science, and the complexities of all aspects related to a breastfeeding maternal-infant dyad. This is her second edition of Hale’s Medications & Mothers’ Milk as co-editor with Dr. Hale. Hale is a professor of pediatrics at Texas Tech University School of Medicine and the executive director of the InfantRisk Center. Dr. Hale created this classification system to provide a clear, evidence-based approach to assessing the safety of medications during lactation. Dichter and Brodie 1996). Minimal plasma protein binding is apparent with gabapentin. Öhman et al. (2005) studied six women taking 0.9–3.2 g gabapentin and their babies. The infant dose of gabapentin was estimated to be 0.2–1.3 mg per kilogramme per day. No adverse effects were observed.
