Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain Monocef contains active ingredient CEFTRIAXONE which is an antibiotic and is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections..
As far as intake during breast feeding is concerned, researches shows that Ceftriaxone is excreted in milk and can be transferred to the baby from the mother via milk..
So intake is done with caution in breast feeding mothers..
You should consult your gynaecologist and get proper consultation and advise..
Certain antibiotics that are considered safe during lactation are Penicillins, azithromycin, metronidazole, cephalosporins etc..
But any medicine should be taken only after advise with a Gynaecologist and Obstetrician..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
