I am caring for a mother of a 32 week preemie in our NICU that is taking Bentyl on a PRN basis for cramping, bloating etc. With this being an L4 and the infant being premature our Neo's are reluctant to use milk when she is taking this med. Since she takes it on a PRN basis I consulted our Ped's Pharm D and he suggested she pump and dump 24 hours after dose to make sure med is cleared from her system.
What other meds can she suggest to her GI doctor in the meantime? Is our recommedations appropriate for this Mom?
Thank you!
