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

Although it is secreted into breast milk it has not been detected in infant’s blood because it forms unabsorbable chelate compounds with milk calcium. It is not recommended a long-term use (more than 3-4 weeks) since damage on bone growth plates, teeth discoloration, or alteration of intestinal flora may occur. Be aware of the possibility of false negative results of bacterial cultures when the mother is on antibiotics. Withdrawn from the market in Spain.

This drug was prescribed for a diagnosis of hyponatremia. It caused kidney damage. I was given this upon discharge from a hospital after being in the intensive care unit for two days and regular room for four days, for a total of six days. I believe doctors should be careful in using this drug and the side effects should be explained to the patient.
