We have threadworm situation. Everyone in the family took mebendazole but me. I have newborn baby 12 days old and breastfeeding.
I read up on this medication and it said you can have it as it is not observant through the gut but the drug is not officially licensed for breastfeeding.
I called nhs 111, they said dont take it.
I called national breastfeeding hotline and they said you can take it is safe but possibly can reduce milk supply.
My gp is my next stop tomorrow but i am so grossed out by this and want to take some medication for it. We brought the over the counter family pack.
Anyone took this while breastfeeding.
