Women who are breastfeeding are not advised to breastfeed their babies for the time being if they have taken Cephalexin.
Cephalosporins are antibiotics that can be excreted to the baby through breast milk, and the baby is more fragile and cannot metabolize these antibiotics in time, thus affecting the health of the fetus.
However, if a breastfeeding woman has severe mastitis, postpartum infection and other diseases, she needs cephalosporin for treatment, at this time, she should stop breastfeeding for a period of time, and then breastfeed again after taking the drug for 3 days.
Cephalosporin adverse reactions are most commonly gastrointestinal reactions, as well as rash, urticaria, drug fever, itching, headache, dizziness and so on. It is contraindicated in people who are allergic to the product.
Breastfeeding women need to be careful when using the drug to prevent the effect on the fetus. When breastfeeding women experience uncomfortable symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor’s medication, avoid unauthorized use of medication, to prevent triggering adverse consequences.
