Cephalosporin is a relatively common broad-spectrum antibiotic with excellent bactericidal and antibacterial effects. For new mothers who are breastfeeding, if anti-inflammatory treatment is needed, they may need to take cephalosporin. At this time, you must follow the doctor's advice. When using medication, you must consider whether the medication affects the composition of breast milk to avoid affecting the health of the child. 1. Focus on the impact of drugs on breast milk When breastfeeding women take medication, they often only focus on whether the medication affects milk secretion, rarely consider the effect of the medication on the baby, or simply don't know which medications may affect the baby. In fact, many drugs can enter the baby's body through the mother's breast milk and have an effect on the infant. Although the concentration of some drugs entering breast milk is very low, it still has a significant impact on the baby's tender body. 2. Doctor prescribes Although most drugs will not affect the baby at normal doses, it is still recommended that breastfeeding mothers tell their doctors that they are breastfeeding before taking any drugs on their own so that the doctor can prescribe suitable drugs and choose drugs with shorter duration to minimize the amount of drugs that pass through breast milk. In addition, if a breastfeeding mother takes medicine after feeding her baby with breast milk, she should feed the baby when the concentration of the medicine in the breast milk reaches the lowest (usually within 4 hours), so that the baby will be safer. 3. The following drugs should be avoided or used with caution by breastfeeding women (1) Traditional Chinese medicine such as roasted malt, Sichuan pepper, and Glauber's salt, and Western medicine such as levodopa, ergonovine, estrogen, vitamin B6, atropine, and diuretics can cause mothers to stop breastfeeding. Therefore, mothers should not take it easily during breastfeeding. (2)Penicillin antibiotics. Including various penicillins such as penicillin, neopenicillin II, neopenicillin III, and aminobencillin. This type of medicine rarely enters breast milk, but in some cases it can cause allergic reactions in babies, so you should be careful. |
