Last Revision: December 16, 2019.

Note

The LactMed apps for Android and iOS devices will be retired. Current users of the LactMed apps are encouraged to continue accessing LactMed via Bookshelf. Alternatively, the dataset can be downloaded from NLM's Data Distribution site and through the NLM Open Access subset.

Need to know more about drugs/supplements and breastfeeding? LactMed can help. Find information about maternal and infant drug levels, possible effects on lactation and on breastfed infants, and alternative drugs to consider. Please note that the app is updated less frequently than the on-line records, so the most up-to-date information is found on-line.
