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

It increases renal excretion of Uric acid and decreases elimination of many drug by the kidneys, among them beta-lactam antibiotics, with augmented plasma levels and effectiveness. Excretion into breast milk is clinically non-significant, with no problems observed among breastfed infants from treated mothers that could be attributed to Probenecid (reportedly, one case of self-limited diarrhea occurred in a child whose mother was taking a Cephalosporin together with Probenecid).

I was experiencing frequent and increasing gout attacks before taking Probenecid. My doctor started me on 500MG 2x daily, and after a year of no gout attacks, lowered it to on 500MG tab/day. Really worked well for me and no observed side effects.
