A member asked:
Why shouldn't you breastfeeding when you are on neo penotran?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metronidazole: Metronidazole (a component of Neo Penotran) is excreted in the breast milk in high concentrations. While the studies are done on the oral version of metronidazole and not the topical version, it is unknown how much gets absorbed and then subsequently excreted in breast milk so it is recommended that milk be discarded while on therapy.
