Medicine Transfer
Through Breast Milk
Researchers have found that
many medicines have the potential
to be transferred from a nursing
mother to her infant. Whether or
not the transferred drug could
cause harm to the breast-fed in
fant is not always known. The
ability of a drug to be passed to an
infant from its mother during
breast-feeding is based on several
factors. One of the most important
factors is the size of the drug mol
ecule. Drugs that have very small
molecules tend to pass easier, as
do drugs that are not attached to
proteins or those that are highly
soluble in fat.
Guidelines for determining the
risk of prescribing certain drugs to
nursing mothers are included in a
recent issue of Drug Topics. Pre
scribes should first consider the
safety of the drug in a full-term
infant. If the mother needs the
medicine and the risk appears to
be minimal, prescribers should
consider prescribing medicines
that are short-acting. Sustained-
release forms may expose the child
to prolonged levels of the drug.
And mothers should take medi
cines at times that allow the least
drug exposure to the infant.
As a rule, the best time for
mothers to take medicines is im
mediately after breast feedings.
Parents should be alert for unusual
signs or symptoms such as a
change in feeding or sleeping pat
terns, fussiness, or rash.
Heppner City Hall, 188 West
Willow St., between the hours of
9 a.m . and 12 noon and 1 to 5
p.m. Monday through Friday.
Permits will be issued for a five
day period for a fee o f $1.
However, the fire chief may
override permits and declare any
day a “ no burning day’’. It is the
responsibility o f a permit holder
to make sure burning is allowed
on a given day before starting to
burn. To verify burning condi
tions, permit holders may call the
city’s Burning Information line at
676-5534.
At the August council meeting
the City Council adopted a new
open burning ordinance. The new
ordinance prohibits the burning of
n o x io u s m a te ria l, p ro te c ts
residents from nuisances arising
from
open
b u rn in g
and
establishes a new burning permit
process.
The new ordinance prohibits
burning of various materials in
cluding wet garbage, plastics,
wire insulation, auto parts,
asphalt, petroleum products, rub
ber, animal remains, animal or
vegetable matter resulting from
food handling, or any other
material which normally emits
Morrow Co. Red Ribbon week Oct. 31
dense smoke or nauseous odors.
The ordinance also prohibits
open burning that creates an odor
or smoke nuisance that interferes
with the welfare o f others. City
police are empowered to order
nuisance creating fires e x
tinguished and to issue citations
for violations.
Although a permit is not re
quired for a common burn bar
rel, conditions of the new or
dinance will apply to this type o f
open burning. Stop by Heppner
