What is peracdot? Is it an herb or drug?
If you are taking a prescription
medication, you need to tell your doctor
before he prescribes it to you that you
are breastfeeding.
Just about any drug that you can get OTC
is safe for breastfeeding, except maybe
aspirin.

im gonna go out on a limb here and say you
mean an oxicodone (such as percacet,
persadan etc) and those are considered a
class b (i beleive) while pregnant and
class L3 for breastfeeding, which means
its moderatly safe
L1=safest
L2=safe
L3=moderatly safe
L4 not very safe
L5=dangerous
i beleive

I had a c-section and was prescribed
Percocet and I was breastfeeding. They
said that some of the medication was
transfered through breast milk, but it
must be safe because they gave it to me.

Oxicodone is only moderately safe for term
babies who are breastfed. It is not safe
for pre-term breastfed babies.
Since this is a prescription painkiller,
your doctor will be able to prescribe
something more safe than this if you are
concerned about the baby and you want to
breastfeed.
You do have to ask, because mine didn't
tell me much about what they were giving
me (oxicodone) and they were actually
sneaking formula to the baby when they
made me think they were giving him my
expressed milk.
Personally.....oxicodone didn't relieve
any of my pain. Hospital strength doses
of ibuprophen were more effective.
