Is Breastfeeding Advisable When On Myotop P?
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 HCM.
Myotop p is a centrally acting muscle relaxant and contains Tolperisone.
Only limited data are available regarding the safety in children, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.Actually it is not known whether Myotop p (tolperisone) is excreted into mother's milk.
so i would say its better go for the doctors advice and stop breastfeeding while on Myotop p.
Hope this answers your query.take care.
