Medicine taken wrong during lactation
Hello doctor, I am suffering from Ankylosing spondylitis. Doctor had prescribed INDOCAP SR (75Mg) Twice daily for 15days for pain..but, I couldn't get that in any of the pharma. So, pharma guy gave INMECIN 25mg+INMECIN 50 mg.. I am breastfeeding my baby. Doctor told INDOCAP SR for short term use during lactation is okay. If pain doesn't subside will go for USG injection or Anti TNf..I do exercises taught by physiotherapist. I didn't want to take medicine. But, stiffness and pain was so high that I couldn't control. Now I am worried I have taken 25mg+50mg (twice in a day) instead of sustained release 75mg capsule. Is this going to affect baby.. I am really tensed for my baby.. I have taken that combination tablet for 4days..later, I got INDOCAP SR through online. Now pain has subsided completely. I hope taking combination of (25+50mg) twice daily won't affect my baby.. I won't commit this mistake henceforth. Really worried for baby. Baby is now 8months old. Plz guide 🙏🙏

Hi. Whether you take 75 mg or 50+25, the total dose remains the same (75mg). So both are equivalent, there is no difference on the effect on your baby. Rest assured, there's nothing to worry and you haven't done anything wrong
