OK to breast feed: It is ok to breast feed the baby while taking clarithromycin. While some may make it into the breast milk, it is not likely to cause a problem for baby as we may use this family of medications when treating infants.In general, f we use it in infants at that age it is ok to bf while taking it.

Prevpac (lansoprazole amoxicillin and clarithromycin) - category C: Which means that one of its components can cause fetal issues in animals and it is not recommended while breast feeding.
