Ciproflaxin is *not* contraindicated during breastfeeding. The
arthropathy story should have been laid to rest for years now. An
article in Pediatric Infectious Diseases discussed a study where
children who had died with cystic fibrosis and had been on large amounts
of ciproflaxin, some for years, showed no sign of arthropathy.
By the way, why is the mother on ciproflaxin. Probably could do with
another antibiotic without any problems. But ciproflaxin is fine.
Pump and dump!! It's like dumping gold.
