A member asked:
I heard that panadol (acetaminophen) decreases breast milk production. is it true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Panadol (tylenol, acetaminophen) has not been associated with decreases in breast milk production. Though it crosses into breast milk no observable changes have been associated to nursing infants of mothers on acetaminophen. As with other drugs, consider use only if benefits to mother out weighs any potential risk to the infant.
