What This Means
Mesalamine transfers only a very small amount (0.02%) of the maternal dose to your baby through breast milk. This is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding. The M:P ratio of 2.69 means the drug concentrates more in breast milk than in blood, meaning more may reach your baby. Consider discussing timing (e.g., taking after a feeding) with your healthcare provider.
