Is it safe to take the painkiller Hifenac P and the antibiotic Novamax 500 mg while breastfeeding after having a wisdom tooth pulled?

Asked by Female, 33 · 15 days ago

Regarding your medications after your wisdom tooth extraction: Novamax (amoxicillin) is an antibiotic that is generally considered safe to use while breastfeeding, as very little passes into breast milk. However, Hifenac P contains aceclofenac and paracetamol. While paracetamol is safe, there is limited safety data for aceclofenac during breastfeeding. I recommend speaking with your dentist or doctor about replacing Hifenac P with a safer pain relief alternative, such as ibuprofen or plain paracetamol. Meanwhile, please monitor your baby for mild side effects like loose stools.
