Nonprescription Drugs

Résumé du livre

The use of nonprescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications by breastfeeding mothers is even more common than the use of prescription drugs. The sale and use of these products is a multi-billion dollar industry. Because they are available for common and not-so-common maladies, there is an overwhelming and bewildering variety of nonprescription products available to consumers. Thus, there is always the possibility that a breastfed infant could receive these medications through breast milk, just as with prescription drugs.
