L 1 Drugs that have been taken by a large number of breastfeeding mothers with no observed adverse effects in infants. Controlled studies have not shown any risk or harm to infant or the drug is not orally bioavailable in the infant. These drugs are considered "safest" to use when breastfeeding. Hale, 2010. Medications and Mother's Milk (14th ed.), page 15. L 2 Drugs that have not been widely studied in breastfeeding women, but have not been shown to have an adverse effect on the infant or the risk of adverse effect is unlikely. These drugs are considered "safe" for breastfeeding moms to use. Hale, 2010. Medications and Mother's Milk (14th ed.), page 15. L 3 Drugs that have no controlled studies on breastfeeding women or the adverse effect shown by controlled studies is only minimal. These drugs should only be given if the benefit justifies the potential risk to the infant. These drugs are considered "moderately safe" for breastfeeding moms to use. Hale, 2010. Medications and Mother's Milk (14th ed.), page 15. L 4 Drugs with positive evidence of risk to breastfeed infant or to breastmilk production. However, the benefits for the breastfeeding mother may justify the risk to the infant. These types of drugs are considered "possibly hazardous" for breastfeeding women to use. Hale, 2010. Medications and Mother's Milk (14th ed.), page 15. L 5 These drugs are considered "contraindicated" for breastfeeding mothers to use. Studies or human experience have shown that there is a significant risk to infant. The risk of using these drugs in breastfeeding women clearly outweighs the benefit of breastfeeding. Hale, 2010.
