A member asked:
Can i breastfeed if im still taking anti malaria tablets which contain atovaquone and proquanil hydrochloride, i need to finish the course ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: The CDC recommends mefloquine instead when the infant is less than 11 kg but overall that combination is considered relatively safe during breastfeeding.Little data is available on atovaquone but only trace of proguanil are found in breast milk.
