Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
There is no published experience with gadobenate during breastfeeding. Gadobenate has been safely used in infants, so it does not appear to pose a substantial risk to a breastfed infant.[1] Guidelines developed by several North American professional organizations state that breastfeeding need not be disrupted after a nursing mother receives a gadolinium-containing contrast medium.[2][3][4]
