Can a mother receive metronidazole?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Mothers can take metronidazole, but considering you are still breastfeeding, it is still recommended to avoid taking metronidazole as much as possible. Alternatively, if you do take metronidazole, you can have your child drink formula milk, which will prevent any harm to the child's body. Metronidazole will not harm the mother and has no side effects, so there is no need to worry.
