Prolactin levels may be lowered with decreased production of breastmilk during the first weeks after birth.Gut absorption may be increased with higher plasma levels if taken together with Ciprofloxacin (Kaye 2000). Whenever it is used while breastfeeding, it would be wise avoiding it during the first 15 to 20 days and assess milk production and onset of nausea, drowsiness or irritability in infants.By waiting six hours after medication, excretion into breastmilk would possibly be lowered.
