Iam a 24 yr old nursing mother of a 1 yr old.Iam currently on antibiotics named as myotop p and the dr has advised me to stop breast feeding my kid for the time being.although I feed him only at nights that too for just 5-10 mints to put him to sleep.my question is can I breastfeed him and after that take medicine.will it still have the same effect on him?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Myotop p is a centrally acting muscle relaxant and contains Tolperisone. Only limited data are available regarding the safety in child Chat Doctor. Actually it is not known whether Motor p (tolperisone) is excreted into mothers milk. So I would say its better go for the doctors advice and stop breastfeeding while on Motor p. Hope this answers your query. Take care. Regards
