Is it safe to breastfeed while taking the antibiotic Zithromax?!
Question:
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking the antibiotic Zithromax?
I have bronchitis and the doctor prescribed Zithromax. He said it was safe to take while breastfeeding b/c it's a drug also prescribed to kids. But the pharmacist as well as info I get from online says the effects of breastfeeding while taking Zithromax are not yet known.
Answers:
Its a Class C which means you weigh the risk the medication carries to the benefit of taking it. You can bottle feed while on it but I honestly wouldn't see the need. They say the effects are not yet known because there have been no real studies to show them anything. Yet there hasn't been anything reported either. Its your call. Take the facts you have and weigh the pros and cons
