This is a case, believe it or not, where the drug company's product
information supports breastfeeding--yet both the pharmacist and the doctor
missed it:
After ophthalmic instillation, trifluridine excretion in human breast milk
is unlikely due to the relatively small dose administered, the dilution in
body fluids, and the very short half-life (Product Information Viroptic (R),
1998).
Whenever one is dealing with ophthalmics and breastfeeding, in MOST cases,
the above is true, and MOST ophthalmics can be used while breastfeeding.
