A member asked:

Is pyridium ok to take while nursing my 19 month old?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably safe: There are no detailed studies but no reported problems in infants breastfed during use at usual doses.

No: Avoid use while breastfeeding because of lack of safety data in human. I would recommend formula feeding temporarily if you have to take pyridium.
