Ακεκλοφενάκη

Compatible

Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Antiinflammatory drug that is similar to diclofenac and used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and osteoartrirts.

At latest update no published data on excretion into breast milk were found.

Its high plasma protein-binding capacity makes the passage into milk be unlikely.

Diclofenac which is part of the same family of antiinflammatory drugs is excreted in non-significant amount into breast milk.

Alternatives

  • Diclofenac (Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Ibuprofen (Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
