Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Cefizox? Is Cefizox safe for nursing mother and child? Does Cefizox extracts into breast milk? Does Cefizox has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Cefizox influence milk supply or can Cefizox decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Cefizox usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that Cefizox produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with cephalosporins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Cefizox is acceptable in nursing mothers.
