The InfantRisk Center (IRC)
The InfantRisk Center (IRC) is a world-wide call center presently in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, in Amarillo.
The InfantRisk Center is used by physicians, nurses, lactation consultants, and mothers in every part of the world. Virtually all calls are about multiple drugs, averaging 3-4 individual drugs. We do our best to help moms, lactation consultants, and doctors evaluate the risk to the infant from exposure to multiple drugs, and keep the mom breastfeeding.
Ask any of our staff, and they will tell you that this call center is a labor of love. We work every day to answer difficult and often unknown problems for our callers. But we are almost always able to find a way to help these desperate moms find a needed medication while pregnant or breastfeeding.
How can I get questions about my medications answered?
The InfantRisk Center answers questions through our forums and call center.
Do I require an account to post on the forums?
An account is required to post on the forums. You can register for an account at http://www.infantrisk.com/
What is the phone number for the call center?
The phone number for the call center is 1(806) 352-2519 and is open from 8am to 5pm Central Standard Time to answer your questions.
I called the call center but could not get through, why?
If you call the InfantRisk Center hotline and do not receive a response, please try again. We respond to a large volume of calls each day, and are not able to answer each and every call right away.
A free online database with information on drugs and lactation, is an addition to the National Library of Medicine's TOXNET system, a Web-based collection of resources covering toxicology, chemical safety, and environmental health.
LactMed may be searched at: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/toxnet/index.html
Geared to the healthcare practitioner and nursing mother, LactMed contains over 450 drug records. It includes information such as maternal levels in breast milk, infant levels in blood, potential effects in breastfeeding infants and on lactation itself, the American Academy of Pediatrics category indicating the level of compatibility of the drug with breastfeeding, and alternate drugs to consider. References are included, as is nomenclature information, such as the drug's Chemical Abstract Service's (CAS) Registry number and its broad drug class.
LactMed was developed by a pharmacist who is an expert in this subject. Three other recognized authorities serve as the database's scientific review panel. Ancillary resources, such as a glossary of terms related to drugs and lactation, and breastfeeding links are also offered.
An information system developed by the Reproductive Toxicology Center for its members. REPROTOX contains summaries on the effects of medications, chemicals, infections, and physical agents on pregnancy, reproduction, and development. The REPROTOX® system was developed as an adjunct information source for clinicians, scientists, and government agencies. Patients should consult their health care providers rather than relying on REPROTOX® summaries.

After childbirth, it is common for moms to experience mood swings, anxiety, sadness or irritability. You may have trouble sleeping or have a reduced appetite. These are typically known as the baby blues.
Postpartum depression is similar to the baby blues, but your symptoms are more intense and will last longer. Symptoms usually develop within the first few weeks after giving birth, but may begin later, up to six months after birth.
FREE Group meetings on the Sisters Hospital Campus in Buffalo, NY (Erie County).
If you have experienced any of the symptoms above, we invite you to attend our monthly Postpartum Mood Issues Support Group.
