Is Oxolamine compatible with breastfeeding? Do we have alternatives for Oxolamine?
Oxolamine
September 19, 2016 (High Risk)
Nonopioid antitussive medication for which there are very few references.
It has been a cause of adverse reactions in children.
At latest update no published data on excretion into breast milk were found.
A known safer alternative should be preferred until more published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding is available, especially during the neonatal period and in case prematurity.
