Is Tienam 500 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Tienam 500? Is Tienam 500 safe for nursing mother and child? Does Tienam 500 extracts into breast milk? Does Tienam 500 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Tienam 500 influence milk supply or can Tienam 500 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Tienam 500 usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that imipenem 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 has been reported with beta-lactams, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Imipenem-cilastatin is acceptable in nursing mothers.
