How long after stopping metronidazole can you breastfeed?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it's about the drug's half-life. Under normal circumstances, it is metabolized by the body in about 12 hours. However, for safety, it is recommended that you wait 24 hours after stopping the medication before breastfeeding your baby. At that time, the breast milk will be completely free from the influence of the drug.
