help please
Sorry this post is such a personal nature, but I just don't know what to
do right now. I have a yeast infection...not sure where it came from. I was on antibiotics three weeks ago....but that seems like a long time. Anyway, I looked up monistat in Hale's and it was L2. So, I used it last night. Unfortunately, I didn't read the label carefully that the new Monistat 1 isn't the same Monistat 1 that is listed in the book. So, instead of using miconazole, I have used tioconazole. I have already nursed my daughter and am panicking because I can't find any information online about this. I will call my breastfeeding hotline, but it isn't open for a few hours. Does anyone know if this is safe/not safe? Thank you, Kim |

Sorry to reply to my own post...but reading the packaging it seems I
have used miconazole nitrate. Any info on this? I am in full panic mode now... Kim &Tim wrote: Sorry this post is such a personal nature, but I just don't know what to do right now.

"Leslie" wrote in message ... Don't worry. It's fine. And here is *why* it's fine: it's a topical application, which is not absorbed through the skin. Beyond that, most antifungals are generally pretty harmless. I mean obviously you don't want to eat them, but even if you got a little bit in your mouth (and this stuff won't pass into your milk anyway so that's not a risk) the most it would do is probably kill some yeast in baby's digestive tract. --angela |
