sodium bromide and breastfeeding

[Aidin]

Hi, I have searched everywhere and everything even the book and I couldn't find anything particular about sodium bromide. It was given, may be once to a mother of 3 month old breastfeeding baby, alon with diazepam and Mannitol. The doctors were informed that the mother is breastfeeding and told her that if it is necessary she must wean, but nothing particular..That's why she contacted me...I have searched Wikipedia and I don't know what to tell her..


Thank you very much

Aidin,

I spoke with Dr Hale and he agrees that this mom should stop breastfeeding as it has a long half-life and would take over 50-60 days to clear this medication.
