Hi, i had my baby girl 2 weeks ago and for the last few days I've had mega tooth ache! I've seen my dentist and he's prescribed me Metronidazole 200mg to get rid of the infection! I'm breastfeeding my baby and the pharmacist has told me that significant amounts of this medicine is found in the milk and the manufactures advise to avoid large single doses ... he said 200mg is a small dose so my baby will be fine! He said take 2 a day rather than 3 so less will be in the milk and she may experience tummy ache and loose stools.
Has anyone got any advise or taken this Med whilst breast feeding?
