Good morning, I have keratitis. I have to take lotemax 0.5% for 7 days and Monafox 5mg for 5-7 days. I would like to know to what extent these drugs pass into breast milk (I am still breastfeeding). Should I definitely stop feeding? In addition, what interval do I have to maintain between taking medication and getting pregnant again?

Drugs for local use, i.e. eye drops, are absorbed into the bloodstream to a minimal extent, so they do not pose a threat to the baby being breastfed. You can breastfeed unless your doctor has advised otherwise. To minimize absorption and thereby reduce the likelihood of penetration of the drug substance into milk, attention should be paid to the correct method of administration of drops into the conjunctival sac. After application, press the mouth of the nasolacrimal duct (inner corner of the eye) or close the eye for 2 minutes. Also, getting pregnant is not contraindicated when using the drops mentioned by you. With our portal for prescription drugs, you can check the availability of the drug and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice. Through the portal, you can compare the prices of a drug or other preparation available without a prescription in online pharmacies and order the drug with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy.
