Is it allowed to take Erythromycin (topical use) during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

La pequeña dosis y la escasa absorción plasmática de la mayoría de preparaciones dermatológicas u oftalmológicas tópicas hacen poco probable el paso de cantidad significativa a leche materna. No aplicar sobre el pecho para evitar que el lactante lo ingiera; caso necesario, aplicar tras una toma y limpiar bien con agua antes de la próxima. Conviene evitar la aplicación sobre el pezón de cremas, geles y otros producto de aplicación local que contengan parafina (aceite mineral) para que el lactante no lo absorba. Academia Americana de Pediatría: medicación usualmente compatible con la lactancia. Listado de medicamentos esenciales OMS 2002: compatible con la lactancia.

Caused the worst diarrhea I have had in 64 years. 15-20 trips per day, plus cramping. I would not take this again unless I were dying of something for which this was the only remedy.

I used this medication for a tooth abscess. I used it only for 4 days when I developed SEVERE stomach pain and diarrhea. I stopped it immediately. It has been 3 weeks since stopping it and I still have severe diarrhea.
