A member asked:
Which other medication is suitable for bacterial vaginosis besides metronidazole when you are breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BV treatment: There is no known adverse effect on babies from the amount of metronidazole in breast milk in moms taking standard doses, and most experts advise it's OK to take it while nursing. But if you want to avoid it, two opptions are metrnidazole vaginal gel (Metrogel®) which doesn't get into the blood or milk; or clinidamycin by mouth.
