If you are using Premarin Vaginal Cream (conjugated estrogens vaginal cream) and breastfeeding, you should know that the hormones in the cream are absorbed into the bloodstream and pass through breast milk.
Pregnancy and Tamiflu. Some animal studies have shown that Tamiflu may be harmful to a developing fetus. According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pregnant and breastfeeding women can take Tamiflu, since risks that may occur with the flu are greater than those of the drug. Although small amounts of Tamiflu enter breast milk, the CDC recommends Tamiflu for breastfeeding mothers rather than the other anti-flu drug zanamivir (Relenza). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before taking Tamiflu.
