Is it safe to take Myospaz Forte for five days while breastfeeding my 16-month-old, and if it is not safe, how many hours should I wait after taking a dose before I can breastfeed again?
Myospaz Forte contains paracetamol, which is safe, and chlorzoxazone, a muscle relaxant with limited safety data for breastfeeding. Because of chlorzoxazone, it is best to avoid this medication if possible. If you must take it, waiting at least 4 to 6 hours after a dose before breastfeeding can help minimize your baby's exposure, which is safer now that your toddler is older and likely eating solids. I highly recommend consulting your doctor about safer alternatives, like ibuprofen or paracetamol alone, to keep you both comfortable and safe.
