The study included all reported ADRs suspected to be related to medications transmitted through mothers' milk from 1 January 2013 to 1 July 2023. The data were categorized by reporting time, infant age and sex, seriousness and type of ADR, and the medications involved.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 922 suspected ADRs were reported in breastfed infants. Serious ADRs accounted for 133 cases (14%), with 15 reported fatalities, primarily associated with methadone (<jats:italic>n\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\u00a011) and diamorphine (<jats:italic>n\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\u00a03). COVID\u201019 vaccines were linked to half of the suspected ADR reports (<jats:italic>n\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\u00a0479, 52%), while serious ADRs were mainly associated with nervous system drugs (<jats:italic>n\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\u00a073, 43%), particularly anticonvulsants and opioids. Most cases (<jats:italic>n\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\u00a0511, 55%) occurred in infants aged between 1\u00a0month and 1\u00a0year.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The reporting of 922 ADRs in breastfed infants over a decade, compared to the estimated millions of infants exposed to medications via mothers' milk annually in Europe, suggests a very low reporting rate of suspected ADRs. This finding emphasizes the significant challenges in postmarketing surveillance and suggests that underreporting remains a critical concern in pharmacovigilance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bcp.70063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]],"date-time":"2025-04-07T02:43:45Z","timestamp":1743993825000},"page":"2431-2436","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["EudraVigilance
