- Abstract
Objective: to estimate medicine consumption during breastfeeding and the risk to the infant. Methods:descriptive study, carried out in a Primary Health Care Unit with 130 infants. The data collection was done through a form with objective questions, analyzed in Epiinfo. Results: 73 (56.0%) nursing mothers had used medication during breastfeeding. The most used drugs were antianemics (n=48, 66.0%) and analgesic/antipyretic drugs (n=11, 14.4%). The majority of the drugs consumed were compatible with breastfeeding (n=71, 97.2%), except for Phenobarbital (n=1, 1.4%) and Losartan (n=1, 1.4%. Conclusion: it was evidenced that medicine consumption during breastfeeding was high among nursing mothers, but most of the drugs presented low risk, that is, they were drugs compatible with lactation.
