LactMed App Reviews

As a pediatrician, I have been using the Lactmed website for years and Im excited they now have an app. I really appreciate the detailed explanation of available evidence.

Thanks

Good reference. Easy to use.

This app provides information on most medications as related to breast feeding and infant response to exposure to the medications in breast milk. Super resource!

I wish more health care providers and patients knew about this wonderful resource. Keep up the good work at NIH.

Doctors are now-a-days are misinformed about what drugs are ok for the breastfeeding women. (Not there fault they dont have much schooling on the subject) This is a great tool for breastfeeding mothers to know possible outcomes of taking certain medications and what to stay away from. It stays up to date as well. That being said this is not amazingly user friendly. If you have even a touch of a medical background it is ok to understand when diving into why certain drugs react the way they do (awesome that it tells you why!) My ONLY reason for 4 stars is because of it not being as user friendly as they could. Great app! I recommend to other breastfeeding moms as well. Keep calm and latch on mamas!

This app is incredibly helpful for breastfeeding mothers, and its based on reliable peer-reviewed research. Not having to look up medications online and try to decipher the reliability of the source is really convenient.

Love this Apps! Super easy to use. Highly recommend to all nursing mother for quick reference.

Not the prettiest that, but the interface is easy to use. But most importantly, the information is wonderful he arranged, easily accessed, and perfect for point of care.

Blurry eyed, exhausted, up with a newborn at 3am & wondering how much ibuprofen I can take, this app was there for me. Thanks bud.

If you dont have a medical background this app is kinda useless. It is not user friendly at all.

This app is absolutely essential for nursing mothers and their medical care givers. It clearly and concisely tells you if its ok to take a certain medicine while nursing. It also gives you information about possible side effects for the baby so you can make an informed decision. Its nothing fancy to look at but the information is solid.
