Which medications should be avoided while breastfeeding?

Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen
Amphetamines, lithium, statins
Antacids, PPIs, H2 blockers
Calcium supplements, vitamin D, multivitamins

The correct answer is: Amphetamines, lithium, statins

Breastfeeding mothers should avoid taking amphetamines, lithium, and statins as they can pass into breast milk and potentially harm the infant. Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen are safe to take while breastfeeding, but it is still recommended to consult with a doctor before taking any medications. Antacids, PPIs, and H2 blockers are also generally safe to take while breastfeeding, but it is best to consult with a doctor before taking any new medications while nursing. Calcium supplements, vitamin D, and multivitamins are safe to take while breastfeeding and can actually benefit both the mother and the baby. However, it is still important to consult with a doctor before taking any supplements while nursing. Overall, it is important for breastfeeding mothers to be cautious and consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medications or supplements to ensure the safety of the baby.
