At the hospital where I used to work, the
anesthesiologists refused to change the orders to
allow toradol for breastfeeding moms, dispite evidence
such as Hale's, and dispite the fact that it is
approved by the AAP for use in breastfeeding mothers.

> This is one of those verbal orders that seeps into

> toradol to
> breastfeeding moms OR if you are breastfeeding and
> had toradol, you cannot
> breastfeed. The claim: it may cause brain bleeds in
> baby.
> Yes, we searched Hale's M&MM - no indication of a
> problem for baby.
> The alternatives are in the same drug class as
> toradol.
> We are trying to clarify this or get it in writing
> or find out their
> evidence, but the origin has been hard to pin down.
> Anyone have any idea of the truth of it?
