Chlornicol Eye Ointment breastfeeding

Chlornicol Eye Ointment is excreted into human milk. Adverse effects have been noted in nursing infants, including refusal of the breast, intestinal gas, and heavy vomiting. In addition, there is a theoretic risk of idiosyncratic bone marrow suppression and Gray Syndrome in the infant. For this reason, use of Chlornicol Eye Ointment during lactation is considered to be of concern by the American Academy of Pediatrics and contraindicated by others. The manufacturer recommends that due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
