Is it allowed to take Thallium-201 during lactation? |
|
The infant may receive radioactive emissions just by being held on mother’s lap. Pump-out mother’s milk some days before procedure is done and keep it frozen. After this, keep-on breast pumping (to stimulate milk production) and dispose extracted milk for the next two weeks. Use previously expressed milk to feed the infant, or/and infant formula, as necessary. Choose the shortest half-life span radionucleotide drug as possible. |
