Should I Be Worried About Taking Medicine While Breastfeeding My Baby?

I have already taken Acimiz Plus (Paracetomal 500 mg and Aceclofenac 100 mg) and Elthrocin -500 (erythromycin). I am breast feeding 5 months old baby. I just realize that I should consult with doctor. But I have already taken it 5 hours ago and feeded baby 2-3 times since than.

Hello! I read your query and I understand your problem! It is wonderful that you breastfeed your baby but you should be very careful with the medicaments you take during this time because some of them could pass to your breast milk, and then to the baby and could harm the baby. Paracetamol is rather safe to be taken but aceclofenac is contraindicated during lactation and therefore you should stop taking Acemiz Plus. Regarding erythromycin it is safe to use during lactation. Howvever, it is always wise to consult with your doctor and update him about the doses.
I hope I responded to your concern! Best regards!
