Question: is azithromycin safe to take while breastfeeding?
Answer: Because of the low levels of azithromycin in breastmilk and use in infants in higher doses, it would not be expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as vomiting, diarrhea, candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash).
