¿Debo evitar ibuprofen durante el embarazo? | VeriMom

Ibuprofen (CAS 15687-27-1) is an NSAID with human/animal evidence of adverse fetal effects (fetal renal dysfunction/oligohydramnios and premature ductus arteriosus closure) prompting an FDA warning to avoid NSAID use at ≈20 weeks gestation and later; this supports a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (h=2). The mechanism is demonstrated (prostaglandin inhibition → fetal renal/ductus arteriosus effects), so m=2. Topical/cosmetic use yields low but measurable systemic exposure vs oral use, so exposure for topical cosmetic use is low (e=1). Sources: FDA, MotherToBaby/NCBI, ECHA substance information.

¿Es ibuprofen seguro durante la lactancia?
Available clinical guidance and reviews indicate very low transfer of ibuprofen into human milk and no documented infant harm for usual maternal doses; therefore no reproductive/breastfeeding hazard is indicated (h=0, m=0). Milk transfer is measurable but low, so e=1. Sources: MotherToBaby (NCBI), NHS Specialist Pharmacy Service; clinical references note ibuprofen is generally compatible with breastfeeding.
¿Es ibuprofen seguro para la piel del bebé?
Hazard (h=2) is carried over because systemic reproductive/toxicity evidence for ibuprofen exists (see pregnancy summary). Per instructions, infant-specific hazard or mechanism were not found so h and m are not increased beyond adult evidence (m=2). Topical exposure for infants is increased relative to adults (immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight) so exposure is raised by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No infant-specific studies were found showing different hazard; precautionary higher exposure score applied.
