We have a mom who delivered a baby 6 days ago under emergency
conditions. She developed pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure and
toxemia. The baby is a little over 1 pound and will be in NICU for a long
time. Today the mom expressed an interest in starting to pump her breasts.
She was sent home on meds which include Lanoxin, Spironolactone, Cozaar,
and Coreg. I was able to get information on the first 3 from Dr. Hale's 97
book, but have not yet found anything on Coreg. Is anyone familiar with this
med and its transfer into breastmilk? I suggested to the mom she could at
least start pumping so that her milk supply would get established while we
find out about the meds. Also, at this point I do not know how long she
will be on the meds, or if the cardiologist would consider any other meds if
these are not compatible. Thanks in advance for any information.
