Is it allowed to take Clotrimazole during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Excretion into breast milk is very unlikely since absorption through skin, vaginal mucosa, and, even intestinal mucosa into plasma is very poor with non-significant plasma levels or below the detection threshold (<10 ng/mL). In addition, because of a high plasma protein binding capacity, excretion into breast milk seems to be less likely. It is used frequently for treatment of Candida infection, either in skin or mouth mucosa, even in newborn and premature infants without observed side-effects. In case of use on the nipple, do it after feeding the baby and cleanse thoroughly the surface before the next one. Do not use creams, gels and other locally applied products that contain paraffin (mineral oil) to prevent absorption by the infant.

I have Sjogrins and my mouth is very dry and my immune system is poor. I developed thrush and this medication was very useful

I found I was allergic to this drug. It helped the day and a half I did use it though.

Worked very quickly, basically flavorless.

This drug, along with drastic, temporary, dietary changes, got rid of my severe overpopulation of oral candida that happened due to my stress disorder, and stress at work. Plain whole milk yogurt, broiled free range chicken breast with salt and pepper, broiled fresh cod with salt and pepper, and sauer kraut was all that I ate during treatment, along with teaspoon shots of apple cider vinegar about 5 times per day, and rinsed mouth with water/peroxide at 10/1 ratio.

This was prescribed to counter the side effects of antibiotic. Used it twice the after I got it and once the next morning, as prescribed. Developed nausea and vomiting that morning so stopped using it.
