A member asked:

Can i take two tylenol (acetaminophen) 1's (8mg codeine) while breastfeeding? my upper & lower back is in pain and need relief asap

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lactating meds: A rule of thumb is 10% of medications pass to the baby. Codeine may cause extreme sleepiness in the baby. Try to use nsaid's every 6 hours, then Codeine for breakthrough pain, as needed, to wean your dependence upon codeine. Try arnica topically for pain relief.
