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

On last update relevant published data concerning breastfeeding were not found. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that excretion into breast milk would be significant. However, it is considered safe for treatment of parasite infections like Amebiasis in children, with a dosage for children weighing over 5 kg that has been established by the manufacturer. It is a medication included in a same group and similar properties of Metronidazole.
