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

It is excreted in breast milk in clinically non-significant amount. No problems have been observed in infants whose mothers were treated. Medication which is used in infants from the second month of age. Take into account the possibility of negative false results of cultures from febrile infants whose mothers are taking antibiotics as well as the possibility of acute diarrhea due to imbalance of the intestinal flora. The American Academy of Pediatric states that it is usually compatible with breastfeeding medication.WHO List of Essential Medicines from 2002 has classified it as compatible with breastfeeding.

The tablets seemed to clear the infection but I was left feeling like a zombie, total fatigue and some nausea. Stopped after 5 of 7 day course and immediately felt better.

Had blood and cloudy urine. No bacteria on culture. Took RX for a week and now on maintenance 1x a day at night. Now clear urine.Does cause gas. Try Probotics. It works!
