@Zanele - Doxytet (Doxycycline) is considered mostly safe during breastfeeding. It is more of a risk during actual pregnancy. As long as your doctor was aware that you are still breastfeeding when they prescribed it, I would not worry.

Hi Olu! While your breast feeding your uterus can contract and sometimes cause some discomfort. It's your uterus going back down to its normal size. But if you're that concerned and uncomfortable, do call your doctor. Any questions you may have, your doctor will be able to answer.

Hello, Olu! How are you?

It sounds like you may have had a bacterial infection, which is why the doctor prescribe this antibiotic. And it is not contraindicated during breast feeding, so they shouldn't be a problem, but you should always double check with your doctor to be sure.

This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-alelrgic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm a breastfeeding mother of a six month old baby girl. My doctor prescribed Doxytet, as I was bleeding non stop since the birth of my child. Can I safely take them and continue breastfeeding?
