interrupt breast feeding for 12.6 hours
The International Community...... recommends delaying breast feeding for 12 hours after 99-m Tc labeled radio-pharm. except for labeled RBC which 4 hours is recommended.

all of the above
Iodine and therefore radioiodine crosses the placenta from the mother to the child, and therefore radiationiodine therapy can damage the baby's thyroid. Women are encouraged to delay pregnancy for a year following radioiodine therphy. Lower doses and frequent voiding to reduce fetal exposure for pregnant women who have undergone examinations. Hydration without frequent voiding will increase the dose to the fetus. The total dose equivalent allowed to the fetus from occupational exposure of the mother is 0.5 rem. |
