Is it allowed to take Parecoxib during lactation? |
|
|
Punctually indicated for post-operative pain relief. Acts by blocking cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX-2). It is metabolized to Valdecoxib. Excreted into breast milk in non-significant amount without side effects reported in breastfed infants from treated mothers. However, because information available on latest update concerning breastfeeding is lacking, other treatment option with a known safer medication during breastfeeding should be used. |
