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

Third-generation cephalosporin for oral administration. At latest update no published data on excretion into breast milk were found. According to the manufacturer it is not excreted into breast milk (Abbott 2007). Most cephalosporins are excreted into milk in insignificant amounts from a therapeutic point of view without reported complications in infants.Cephalosporins are widely used in the Pediatric practice with a good tolerance, even in the neonatal period, so it is very unlikely that in small amounts through milk would be a cause of problems in the infant. Red discoloration of stools would appear when combined with iron supplements (Lancaster 2008). Be aware of the possibility of false negative results of cultures in febrile infants whose mothers are taking antibiotics as well as the possibility of gastroenteritis (Ito 1993) by altering the intestinal flora.
