I'm not surprised that most of you mothers are complaining about this drug. I was prescribed this drug shortly after giving birth to my daughter for a presumed UTI. My doc told me it was safe to consume while breastfeeding. Needless to say my then 6 day old had a toxic reaction to it, she was refusing to nurse, vomiting, had a skin rash and oral thrush. I went to my local ER after complaining and feeling like my complaint were being met with deaf ears and the ER admitted us and did further work up. My daughter liver enzymes were elevated and when they performed a biopsy they confirmed drug-induced hepatitis which they later said progressed to biliary atresia. Here we are three yrs later with a transplant and relisted for another. AWFUL drug. I would not recommend that any child under 18 yrs old take. Hope this helps someone.
