LactMed – Drugs and Lactation Database

0

The LactMed database is a searchable database that contains information about medication use while breastfeeding. The data comes from current scientific literature and is reviewed by a peer review panel to ensure accuracy. You can search the database for a specific medication to learn the level of medication that is known to cross into breast milk and infant blood, as well as the possible adverse effects in the nursing infant. The database also provides suggested therapeutic alternatives, where appropriate.

About Author

While not meant to replace the advice and guidance of doctors on these topics, Mamas Facing Forward endeavors to be a “one stop shop” for moms and moms-to-be who are living with chronic illnesses and have questions or concerns about pregnancy and motherhood. We want to make existing resources easier to find and work towards creating additional resources where they are needed. We want moms with chronic illnesses to know they aren’t alone and that help is available.
