Breastfeeding mothers worry about the side effects of the pills they take. But studies say that most antibiotics are safe for babies. 

Is it safe for breastfeeding mothers to take medicines like paracetamol and aspirin?

Breastfeeding mothers often worry that the pills they take might&nbsp;contaminate the&nbsp;breast milk. But studies show that the presence of the medicine is so low in breast milk that babies are safe from any of their adverse effects.&nbsp;

Should breastfeeding mothers take common pills like paracetamol and aspirin?

Breastfeeding mothers often worry that the pills they take might&nbsp;contaminate the&nbsp;breast milk. But studies show that the presence of the medicine is so low in breast milk that babies are safe from any of their adverse effects.&nbsp;

Breastfeeding mothers&nbsp;often fret about popping pills when they&rsquo;re sick. Will the medicine pass on to the breast milk? Does it have any adverse effects on the baby? These are natural questions that new mothers commonly stress about. So if you are also worried about the same, keep watching to get all the answers!
How medications generally work when you&rsquo;re breastfeeding?
Mayo Clinic, a medicinal research institute in Minnesota, USA explained that if antibiotics are present in the mother&rsquo;s bloodstream, they will also be present in her breast milk. But, its presence is much lower in the milk than in the bloodstream, so most medications pose no real risk to infants.
National Center for Biotechnology Institute of the United States says that common pills like paracetamol&nbsp;and&nbsp;low-dose aspirin are considered compatible with breastfeeding. But it is important to remember that the dose of these antibiotics must be on the lower side.
Are there any alternatives?
Ointments instead of oral medicines
If there is an ointment or lotion available which will also sooth your headache, then avoid the aspirin. By doing so, passing on the medicinal effect to your baby can be avoided.
Maintain gaps
Take the pill right after feeding your child. And try to pump and store some extra for the next feeding session. This way, the medicinal effect in your body will be a lot lower by the time your baby needs food again.
Seek professional advice
Taking advice from doctors, lactation consultants and discussing with breastfeeding peer counselors is always a smart way to clear all your doubts.

If there is one thing that most of us are guilty of doing, it is the over consumption of paracetamol. Whenever we have a fever, headache or body pain, the first thing that comes to our mind is paracetamol. But not many know that there are a lot of side effects associated with this drug.

He said, "Regular usage and consumption of paracetamol increases blood pressure and increases the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Regular and unsupervised consumption of it can lead to nausea, vomiting and rashes."
He also stated how the continuous consumption of this drug could lead to acute paracetamol poisoning.
"When you are ingesting 4 grams per day or 75 milligrams per kilograms body weight paracetamol, this leads to damaging liver and kidneys. Treatment within 16 hours is required in such cases. Always take your doctor's advice and only when he prescribes it should you take this drug. Do not take paracetamol for every other headache or health concern."

Do you pop a paracetamol every time you have a headache? A new study on the popular painkiller has thrown up some very concerning findings.
Regular use of paracetamol could raise your heart attack risk considerably.
Scientists at University of Edinburgh in UK have concluded that daily use of paracetamol raises blood pressure and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The researchers have asked the doctors to be careful before prescribing paracetamol to people at risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The first-of-its-kind trial found that just four days of taking paracetamol causes a clinically significant hike in blood pressure, The Telegraph UK has reported.
The researchers have calculated that regular paracetamol use — about 4g a day, or eight standard tablets — could increase the risk of heart disease or stroke by around 20 per cent.
Experts conducted the study on 110 patients with a history of high blood pressure and placed them on, "one gram of paracetamol four times a day or a placebo for two weeks, before reversing the regime so the placebo group got paracetamol," The Telegraph UK reported.
The study raises alarm as paracetamol was considered a safe altrnative to drugs such as ibuprofen, which are known to raise blood pressure.

A European epidemiological study examining a mother&rsquo;s use of&nbsp;paracetamol&nbsp;during pregnancy has revealed&nbsp;the&nbsp;potential adverse effects&nbsp;of the drug on&nbsp;offspring.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The study of six European cohorts and over 70,000 children&nbsp;has linked symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum conditions (ASC) to paracetamol (acetaminophen) use during pregnancy.&nbsp;It was&nbsp;estimated that 46%-56% of pregnant women in developed countries use paracetamol at some point while childbearing.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Publishing in the&nbsp;European Journal of Epidemiology, the research team assessed&nbsp;the behaviour of the offspring between the ages of 6 months and 11 years, with memory and IQ tested up until the age of 17.&nbsp;It was found that children with exposure to&nbsp;paracetamol before birth were 19% more likely to develop ASC symptoms and 21% more likely to develop ADHD symptoms than children who were not exposed.&nbsp;
The team stressed that their finds add to a growing body of evidence and reinforces the&nbsp;advice that women should be cautious when taking medication during pregnancy and must seek medical advice where necessary.

Paracetamol can induce risky behaviour, alter perception: study 

A commonly used analgesic drug,&nbsp;paracetamol&nbsp;may be doing far more than taking care of a mere headache

Painkillers like paracetamol&nbsp;make you more tolerant of taking risks
People asked to opine the riskiness of some behaviours: study
Published by&nbsp;Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience journal&nbsp;
The drug may reduce negative emotions for risky activities

One of the most commonly popped analgesics all over the world,&nbsp;paracetamol&nbsp;may be doing far more than taking care of a mere headache.&nbsp;
A study by Ohio State University has found that painkillers like paracetamol, also sold under different brand names as Tylenol&nbsp;or Panadol, can make you more tolerant to risk-taking behaviours.&nbsp;
In the 500+ people study,&nbsp;people who were given&nbsp;paracetamol rated activities such as walking home alone at night in an unsafe area, skydiving, bungee jumping and starting a new career in your 30s as less risky compared to participants who took the placebo.
The findings are reported in&nbsp;Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. An author from the study said that in essence paracetamol seems to make 'people feel less negative emotions when they consider risky activities sp they just don't feel as scared.'
