The Difficulties in Antihypertensive Drug Prescription During Lactation: Is the Information Consistent?

Introduction: The lack of consistent official information on the use of medications during lactation is probably one of the main reasons leading to an excess of prudence, based on presumption of risk rather than on evidence. The objective of this study was to compare the level of agreement between different official sources available to doctors and women on the use of medications during lactation.

Materials And Methods: Sources of information included governmental regulatory agencies (RAs) and scientific sources (SS).
