Hi,
It is important to consult with your doctor before taking any medication while
breastfeeding, as some medications can pass into breast milk and potentially harm your baby. Azithral is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, and
Dulcolax is a laxative used to relieve
constipation. Both medications can potentially pass into breast milk, but the risk depends on the specific medication, dosage, and timing of the medication.
Your doctor will consider several factors before recommending any medication, including the potential risks and benefits of the medication, the severity of your condition, and any alternative treatment options. If your doctor has prescribed these medications, they likely believe that the benefits outweigh the potential risks to your baby.
However, you should still inform your doctor that you are breastfeeding and ask about any precautions you can take to minimize the risk to your baby. You can also consult with a
lactation consultant or your baby's
pediatrician for additional guidance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
