Can I breastfeed while taking ibuprofen sustained-release capsules during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules should be used with caution in pregnant and lactating women. "Caution" means using the medication carefully, not that it cannot be used. Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules are completely excreted within 24 hours, with about 1% excreted in its original form, and part is excreted through the feces. Breastfeeding can be resumed 24 hours later.
