Is Iopanoic Acid compatible with breastfeeding? Do we have alternatives for Iopanoic Acid?

Iopanoic Acid

November 4, 2015 (Very Low Risk)

It contains 67% of Iodine.

A number of dye materials (iodine based or not) used on diagnostic imaging procedures (x-Ray, CAT scan, MRI) are compatible with breastfeeding since they are inert, metabolize rapidly without leaving free iodine and are not or very little absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
