Is it safe to take Meftal Spas or other stomach cramp medicines while breastfeeding my 7-week-old baby, especially since I am experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea?
It is best to avoid Meftal Spas while breastfeeding. One of its active ingredients, dicyclomine, can cause serious side effects in young infants and may also reduce your milk supply. For now, focus on staying hydrated with plenty of fluids or oral rehydration solutions. Please consult your doctor before taking any medication for cramps so they can safely prescribe a breastfeeding-friendly alternative.
