Answer:
Hey CUPISHITO, how are you doing? It is recommended that
breastfeeding is avoided for 14 days after this medicine is
administered. Seek medical advice from your doctor. Certain
medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or
breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks
to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or
planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine. For excellent
patient education resources, visit eMedicine's Pregnancy and
Reproduction Center and Procedures Center. Also, see eMedicine's
patient education articles Pregnancy, Bleeding; Miscarriage; Abortion;
and Dilation and Curettage (D&C). Best wishes,
