A member asked:
If i am prescribed keflex when breastfeeding a baby will it pass to the baby? would this have some effect on the baby like affecting their micro biome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be used because the medication in breast milk is very small, only about 1% of the dose if baby needs to be treated with this medication. Mother should take it if indicated.
