Fluconazole/Diflucan whilst breastfeeding?

[hw7342]

Has anyone taken Fluconazole/Diflucan for thrush during breastfeeding? Gynopevaryl pessaries are usually the only thing that works for me but i can't get an apt with the doc until after xmas...

you can take it - it is used to treat oral/breast thrush if it occurs so will be fine.

It's fine. It's prescribed all the time for breast thrush when women are breastfeeding. It's not licensed for use with breastfeeding women but that's about the manufacturers choosing to not get a license rather than inherent dangers. You can read more about it here:

I wouldn't hesitate for short-term use.

yes took it for nipple thrush with no concerns at all x
