Yeah but the woman isn't on cipro..she is on macrobid.


I'm not talking about the risks of cipro to the baby...but to mom. Why take a med that has possible side effects when there is another med that you can take?

The FDA alert says this class of drug should be avoided when other meds are available. Especially for treating something basic like a UTI.

But the mom is breastfeeding. I’m not saying cipro would be my first Rx choice but it is safe for an infant while breastfeeding and your irrational fear of cipro harming the mother is just that. But hey, you’re the doctor...
