The objective was to identify the drugs used during lactation acompanhadas among women in a primary care unit. Quantitative study carried out with 132 lactating mothers of a basic health unit. Data were collected through a questionnaire with objective questions and subjective August-October 2011. The nursing mothers used medication along the breast feeding 105 (80%), while 27 (20%) did not use any kind of medication. The drugs most commonly cited as the use were: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory 82 (58%), contraceptives 16 (11%), antianemics 14 (11%), antibiotics 12 (9%), antihypertensive 5 (4%), antacids 3 (2%), among others 9 (6%).
