Frank, and Tom,
Do any of you have info on the safety of Lugol's solution (5% iodine I've
been told) during breastfeeding?
I have a patient whose mom has Grave's disease and the surgeon asked me
about this because he would like to give mom a 10 day course in December
prior to thyroid surgery. I'm thinking the baby will be 4 months old then.
Tom's 98-99 book doesn't address this drug directly other than strongly
cautioning about iodine use while nursing. Briggs 1994 edition says the AAP
considers iodine expectorants compatible.
Thanks for any help.
Rob
