Is it allowed to take Cortisporin Ointment ™ during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Cortisporin Ointment is a tradename that contains several active ingredients in its composition: Bacitracin-Zinc (Very Low Risk) Hydrocortisone Topical Use (Very Low Risk) Neomycin (Very Low Risk) Polymyxin B Sulfate (Very Low Risk) Since each active ingredient of this product may have a different level of risk for breastfeeding, we establish that of the product with higher risk. For more information (pharmacokinetics, references, ...) tap each active ingredient. Note: The composition of certain tradenames varies in each country. Please, make sure this is the composition of the tradename you are looking for..

I am taking 5 mg of the generic form because my cortisol levels were very low normal and I have fibromyalgia and the increased fatigue was knocking me for a loop. It did help a lot with the fatigue. But after I take it in the morning, I have very overactive bladder for the next 4 or 5 hours and I figure this is what is causing it. I looked at the side effects on this site, but they used medical terms that are not explained so I am no better off.
