Hello, I’m trying to understand the RID for Tylenol. I know it is listed as 6.41%-8.82%, but does that mean that much goes to baby? If that were the case, a 500mg of Tylenol would mean baby would get 30-40 mg of Tylenol? An infant dose of Tylenol is 40mg…so 30-40mg seems quite high?
After reading the studies provided on Infant Risk, it states on one that a baby would receive an average of .92mg after mother took 1000mg. So .92 is quite a lot smaller than 30mg, and sounds much more reasonable considering. Can anyone help explain this?
I did call but the nurse was not able to answer.
Also, as long as it’s a low dose (typically 500mg-1000mg a day) or under)- is it ok for baby if mom is taking Tylenol on a regular daily basis for chronic pain? NSAIDS cannot be used due to an allergy.
