Could I have harmed my baby if I used Dicloziaya gel?

The question does not include the name of the drug. If your question is about the tag-marked Dicloziaja, please read on.

The active substance (diclofenac) in Dicloziaja is excreted in milk in small amounts. For this reason, the preparation should be used in breastfeeding women after a doctor's recommendation. To quote the summary of product characteristics:
'diclofenac is excreted in the milk of women who are breastfeeding at a small Quantities. However, the use of this medicinal product at therapeutic doses does not affect the nursing child. In the absence of controlled studies in breastfeeding women, the product should only be used during lactation on the recommendation of a physician. In such cases, the medicinal product should not be used on the breasts of breastfeeding women or on large breasts. skin surfaces or long-term".

Therefore, please do not worry in advance. If you experience any disturbing symptoms in your child (which is unlikely), I encourage you to consult a pediatrician.

In assessing the safety of drugs used in breastfeeding women, lactation lexicons are used, including, for example, the classification according to Prof. Hale. According to that classification, diclofenac belongs to group L2, that is to say, medicinal substances which have been used in a limited number of mothers and which have shown an increased risk of adverse effects in breastfed babies and medicinal substances for which there is unlikely to be a risk of harmful effects on the breastfed child. In order to further minimize the risk to the baby, the gel can be applied immediately after feeding, so that the break from using the formula and feeding is as long as possible.

If your health situation requires the use of the gel, I encourage you to consult a doctor. You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
