Is it allowed to take Etoricoxib during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Indicated for treatment of Arthritis, Arthrosis and Gout. Acts by blocking cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX-2) On date of latest update relevant data concerning breastfeeding were not found. Because a high protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk seems highly unlikely. In spite of this, it is recommended the use of other anti-inflammatory medication known to be safer while breastfeeding.
