Ellen Sorry, I'm a few days late. Don't know about this drug, but would ask the dr. these important questions: 1. Is this the only drug that will treat the illness? 2. Is there a safe(r) alternative med available to treat it? 3. Is there a drug that can be given IM or IV that is not absorbed orally? 4. If it is absolutely necessary that she take THIS drug, and also true that it is contraindicated while bf, can the mother token bf (i.e. bf few times per day? bf on "dry" breast? pump and dump then bf w/ an alternate such as donor milk or formula via nursing supplementer at breast?
