Is ciprofloxacin compatible with breastfeeding?

Hello Ma'am,

The use of ciprofloxacin in pregnancy is considered acceptable, but often represents a second or third choice for treating a certain type of infection in the breastfeeding woman. Indeed, it is often preferred to use an agent that is even less present in mom's milk.

For what type of infection have you been prescribed this medication?

Don't hesitate to come back to me if you have any other questions.

It's a pleasure,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
