Good Day,
Esomeprazole is listed as an L2 In Medications and Mothers Milk and it is noted that it is unlikely to be absorbed by the infant while dissolved in milk due to instability in acid. Would this apply to very premature babies as well?
Would this medication be considered safe for donor mothers to take when donating to a milk bank?
Some milk banks allow donor mothers to take Omeprazole but do not specify Esomeprazole as also being compatible with donating breastmilk.
Regards
Jenny
