I need some help please.
I have been asked by a mom of an 11 month old toddler about taking Levoquin.
She had her gallbladder removed and was put on Levoquin 500mg daily po.
Literature says no.  Dr  Hale  "Drug Therapy and Breastfeeding" says it is an
L3 catagory and talks about poss. arthropathy.
I'm not sure what to tell this mom.  (Toddler still an active nurser.)   Her
surgeon told her to immed. wean.  "No point in Bfing a baby this age."

Thank you, Loretta Haycook, RN, IBCLC
