The renewed e-breastfeeding website: everything you need to know about breastfeeding and medications

Just yesterday we talked about the new book by Dr. José María Paricio, creator of the web e-lactation, a reference site for professionals and mothers who breastfeed.

E-breastfeeding has just been renewed and in it you can find much more clearly and easily everything you need to know about breastfeeding and medications.

Breastfeeding mothers often find that they should take some medication and are concerned about the effect it may cause on the baby. It is sometimes believed that the medication is incompatible with continuing to breastfeed and premature weaning is considered, but the reality is that it is a myth to say that the woman who breastfeeds cannot take medication, or to do so has to stop breastfeeding.

To avoid being in situations and to be able to access quality scientific information prepared by specialists, has been created e-lactation, now renewed. The new design is more intuitive and easy to use.

Just enter the name of the medication in the search box, and the risk level will appear what this medicine means for breastfeeding: Level 0 (very low risk), Level 1 (Low risk), Level 2 (High risk) and Level 3 (Very high risk).

You will also find a comment on each medicine, the trademarks that can be found of each, the group to which it belongs and the pharmacokinetics, which explains the effect of the drug on the body (the dose that can reach the infant, the concentration of the substance in milk in relation to plasma concentration, etc.)

E-lactation It has become an essential site for professionals and for breastfeeding mothers. Keep it in favorites because you will surely need it to assess the true scope of medicines in breast milk.
