I am nursing my 3 month old infant. I injured my shoulder during the delivery and have had pain since. My MD prescribed a pain relieving cream that contains ketamine HCL 10%, Gabapentin 3%, Lidocaine 5%, and ketoprofen 10%. I am hoping I can use this cream safely and avoid oral medications for pain since I am breast feeding.
Is there any research on how the medications are absorbed systemically and if they are passed into breast milk? Is this a safe alternative to taking oral pain medications?
