Is Norflox TZ Safe During Lactation?
Question: Hi my baby is 1.5 year old and she is breastfeed . I was having motion so have taken Norflox tz. Any side effect to baby
Brief Answer:
Norflox TZ is considerably safe...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Norflox TZ is considered safe during lactation. So it can be used without concerns during breast feeds. However, at this point, I would like to review the need for antibiotics to treat loose stools.
- How many episodes of loose stools do you have and since when?
- Are the stools watery or semisolid?
- Did you have vomiting along with loose stools?
- Did you have stomach cramps with loose stools?
Most often loose stools are due to viral infection. It resolves spontaneously. All that is needed is plenty of fluids to replenish lost fluids and probiotics. Antibiotics are rarely necessary.
Therefore I wish to review the need for antibiotics? Was it prescribed to you by a doctor?
Hope I have answered your query.
