Can the pharmacist prescribe the Newman preparation?
27-year-old woman
My breast hurts when I breastfeed. A burning sensation that radiates to the armpit. I suspect breast candidiasis. My daughter has no whitish lesions in her mouth or anus. I was prescribed Newmann cream at the beginning of my pregnancy because I had injuries related to breastfeeding. On the jar it says throw away November 2022.

Hello Mrs.,
Considering the high risk of contamination after this date, I cannot suggest that you apply it.
For chapped skin due to breastfeeding, Lansinoh ointment can be applied after each suckling as needed.
If this does not improve the situation, you will need to see a doctor to assess your situation and your infant's mouth.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
