Results Nifedine, propranolol, metoprolol, labetalol, captopril, enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide appear safe for use in lactating women. Conclusion Prescribing medications fora breast-feeding mother requires weighing the benefits of medication use for the mother against the risk of not breast-feeding the infant or the potential risk of exposing the infant to medications. The physician should select the safest and most effective medication and make an appropriate therapeutic regimen.
