According to th Handbook cf Nonprescription Drugs, the concentra­
tion of a particular medicine in brea t milk d pen� o� many factor ,-,the
concenttation in the mother' blood and characten tiC of th medlcme,
such as its fat solubility and the degree to whic� it i bound to blood plasma
protein and milk protein. Another factor is the time of breast-feeding. If
the medicine must be taken routinely, it hould be taken hortly after
breast-feeding. Thi allows as much time po ible for the medicine to
clear the mother' blood and allow for a lower concentration at the time
of the next feeding.
The Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs also indicate that aspirin
and other salicylates hou�d be used with cauti�n by n�sing mothers.
Certain prescription drugs Ideally hould be aVOlded dllflIlg breast-��­
ing. There are always exception, however, based on rh health condluon
of th expectant mother.
