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

It is composed by bisphosphonates Most bisphosphonates are acidic compounds that achieve low plasma concentration. Both features make it unlikely excretion into the milk in clinically significant amount. Intestinal absorption of bisphosphonates is very low even during fasting and is considered negligible in the presence of milk due to formation with the calcium of non absorbable compounds. Pamidronate is excreted into breast milk in clinically insignificant amount and no problems have been observed in infants whose mothers were treated, except some cases of mild and asymptomatic hypocalcemia in infants whose mothers had been already treated before and / or during pregnancy, so some authors suggest regular monitoring of serum calcium.

I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. Earlier this year (2008)I found out it spread to my liver and my spine (small tumors). I am currently taking Taxotere (chemo) and Pamidronate. The last PET scan I had showed no signs of cancer! I had a port installed in my chest area to make it easier for me to get the treatments and since Pamidronate is a long term option for me at this time. Side affects: I do have some back aches and I do get light headed at times.

I have just started the treatment with pamidronate. I had very very severe side effects: very high fever, shortness of breath, pain, pain and then some more pain. I ended up in the hospital with high fever. I shall never take it again
