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

Excreted into breast milk in much lesser amount than that used for the treatment of Candida infection in the infant. Problems have not appeared in breastfed infants from treated mothers. Widely used for the treatment of breast pain due or allegedly due to Candida infection. In those cases of breast candidiasis where topical treatment fails, oral Fluconazole may be used at a dose of 200 mg for the first day to be followed by 100 mg daily for two weeks. The American Academy of Pediatrics rates it compatible with breastfeeding.

Day two and I’m still in agony. Called and getting a second pill. Pain is horrific from this yeast infection. I’m coming unglued. Crying and such after using restroom.
