Side Effects of Soma While Nursing a Baby

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Soma is a muscle relaxer that works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain.

Soma is used together with rest and physical therapy to treat injuries and other painful musculoskeletal conditions.

Soma may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether Soma passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Very limited data in humans show that SOMA is present in breast milk and may reach concentrations two to four times the maternal plasma concentrations. In one case report, a breast-fed infant received about 4-6% of the maternal daily dose through breast milk and experienced no adverse effects. However, milk production was inadequate and the baby was supplemented with formula. In lactation studies in mice, female pup survival and pup weight at weaning were decreased. This information suggests that maternal use of SOMA may lead to reduced or less effective infant feeding (due to sedation) and/or decreased milk production. Caution should be exercised when SOMA is administered to a nursing woman.

DMARDs and Pregnancy Issues

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may harm fetal development. Consequently,  sexually active men and women using DMARDs should use effective means of contraception during every sexual encounter. In most cases, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who may become pregnant are advised not to take DMARDs.

In addition, it is important to note that some DMARDs may decrease the effect of birth control pills (oral contraceptives). Patients using these contraceptives are advised to ask their physician about alternate methods of birth control.

DMARDs are acceptable for children in certain circumstances, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or organ transplantation, but children are monitored closely for possible side effects. Occasionally, lower doses of DMARDs may be required for elderly individuals. However, they generally are at no greater risk for side effects than younger adults.
