Stomach infection and breastfeeding

2017-06-09 11:51:39
I am suffering from loose motions and vomit since morning. My GP has prescribed Rifagut 400mg for this stomach infection. I am still breast feeding my 3 months old son. Is it safe to take this medicine? Composition is Rifaximin 400mg. I consulted the GP and gynecologist - they said it's all right, however in the internet 2-3 websites have said no for its usage during breast feeding.
