A member asked:

Can i safely take toradol and a medrol dosepack together while breastfeeding?

Manufacturer says no: The manufacturer of Toradol says it is contraindicated while breast feeding. Even so, it is sometimes used. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Side effects include stomach effects, bleeding, and kidney effects. Medrol is also anti-inflammatory. Do you need both drugs? I am not aware of adverse effects on breast feeding infants from a Dosepack of Medrol by the mother.

No: Even if not breastfeeding, as both taken together may affect your gut and cause GI bleeding so you have to cautious. Toradol by itself isn't recommended to take during breastfeeding, especially if repeated doses, talk to your doctor for an alternative, or hold nursing for now, use a pump and discard milk, wish you and your infant wellness
