I am worried about my friend who is addicted to vicodin. She has
an infant 1 week old and is taking 4000mg of Vicodin a day and is
breast feeding. Is this safe.

Vicodin passes into breast milk and may affect a nursing infant. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
