Zithromax while breastfeeding

It is an L2 which is the "safer" category. My Hale's says: "The predicted dose of azithromycin (zithromax) received by the infant would be approximately 0.4 mg/kg/day. This would suggest that the level of azithromycin ingested by a breastfeeding infant is not clinically significant. New pediatric formulations of azithromycin have been recently introduced. ..."

I would keep breastfeeding while taking it.

I took it while breasfeeding a few times for upper respiratory infections. Ds never had any problems.

Thanks for the info. My dr. prescribed it for me today. (Z pack)

I found this thread by doing a search to see if it's ok to take.

did it for all of my episodes of mastitis. okay per mw.
