Is it allowed to take Metacycline-Hcl 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 non absorbable chelate compounds with milk calcium. It is not convenient a prolonged use (more than 3-4 weeks) for a potential damage on bone growth plates, teeth discoloration, or alteration of intestinal flora. Be aware of the possibility of false negative results of bacterial cultures when the mother is on antibiotics. Not commercially available in Spain
