Dear Barbara
There is nothing here about etodolac while breastfeeding. I have only
pharmacologicals facts :
bound more than 99% to plasmatic proteins
plasmatic peak 1 hour after absorption
half life is about 7 hours
volume of distribution : 0,4 l/kg
with the slow release form, plasmatic peak about 8 hours after absorption
It can probably be used without real risk (at least for a punctual
treatment). But why not to use another drug (tolmetine, ibuprofen,
naproxene...) ???
Kind regards
