Hi all Thank you for your replies to my question re the safety of Combivir while breastfeeding. It appears that the Zidovidine is can be given to infants and the Lamivudine has a short half life. According to one of the pharmacists, "longest half life is 7 hours between the 2 and this certainly gives enough time for clearance of what little drug reaches the milk". The mother did not wait the 48 hours before resuming breastfeeding. She is nursing her little guy and happy to be back at it. It is really great to have all of you as a reference.
