Drug transfer to the fetus and to the breastfeeding infant: what do we know?"
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a lot....: These studies are very difficult to do, especially on which drugs are transferred to the developing fetus. Animals models can tell you some information, but it is hard to interpret effects into people.
