Hi. I sent this message in Aug 99. Got no replies:
<<I checked the archives and Hale's book. And I gave the mother all the info
for her to make a decision. However I am wondering is there any new info on
FDA approval for peds use of this drug? I noted in Tom's book that this
might be forthcoming. Her doc says he would prescribe (for chronic UTI) but
the pedi says to wean to formula. BTW baby is a thriving 3 mo old
exclusively bf.>>

Now have another client w/ pyelonephritis, admitted to hosp on piperacillin
and augmentin (amoxicillin and clauvinic acid?). Already gave MD the info on
this from Hale and she cont. to bf (express). Then was put on gentimicin and
ciprofloxacin too. Going home on augmentin and cipro. The baby is mostly bf,
some formula supps, 1 mo old, 8 lbs 3 oz last wt (started out 6 lbs). Any
new info on cipro? Dr. Hale or Dr. Nice?
