Can ondansetron be used during breastfeeding and what are the potential risks or benefits for the nursing infant?
1. Ondansetron is excreted into breast milk in small amounts. Limited data suggest low risk to nursing infants.
2. Ondansetron passes into breast milk, but effects on infants are considered negligible. Caution is still advised.
3. Minimal ondansetron is transferred to breast milk. It’s seen as generally safe for breastfeeding mothers and infants.
4. Breastfeeding while on ondansetron is thought to pose low risk; however, monitor the infant for any adverse effects.
