Is Pramocaine compatible with breastfeeding? Do we have alternatives for Pramocaine?
Pramocaine
December 1, 2004 (Very Low Risk)
Anesthetic drugs for topical use, both dermatological and odontological, have almost nil absorption when properly used. Do not apply on the breast. Otherwise, do it after having nursed, and cleanse it thoroughly with water before next feeding.
