Couple of quick references:
From DML website - Tiberal affects taste of BM, "breastfeeding should be discontinued until ~48 hours after completion of treatment since they give the milk a bitter taste"

BUT, from Dr Thomas Hale (BF pharmacologist):

Dear Dr Hale,
Baby 1 month old. Mother receiving ornidazole (Tiberal(R))1g q24hIV and amikicin and vancomycin (perforated intestine). The use of amika and vanco is not contraindicated with BF. What about ornidazole?
Thanks,
Regards, Dr Greet Stevens, pediatrician, IBCLC, Belgium

Dr. Stevens:

We unfortunately do not have data yet published on breast milk levels of ornidazole. It is not available here in the USA, but it is similar to metronidazole that we use all the time here. While similar in structure to metronidazole it is actually considered safer, as its side effect profile is better than metronidazole.

Thus from this data I'd suggest its probably quite safe to use in breastfeeding mothers. We use metronidazole all the time in infants and in breastfeeding mothers due to its high degree of safety.

I had to take it a couple weeks ago. My son was 9 weeks. I took it after his night time feed so a good number of hours before his next feed. He showed no effects from it. Here is the medsafe data sheet on it.Tiberal data sheet]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:18:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30060&PID=847240&title=tiberal#847240 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30060&PID=847239&title=tiberal#847239 Author: kellie

It is not known if it is safe or not during breastfeeding. Drugs are not tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women.
You should really be discussing the pros and cons with your DR. If it is a once off dose though, chances are it won't be too risky :)

Hi Nooshie

Are you able to give your Doc a call to check? or maybe contact plunket or La Leche League for advice....
Hope you can find some answers soon.

I have been prescribed one dose 200mg of TIBERAL by my Doc. To be taken at night. I am still breastfeeding my boy, who is VERY attatched to my nipple, rather than a bottle! My doc reported that the drug can pass through into breastmilk, but was unsure how long it would stay in my system. Has anybody had experience of this? I have googled my little heart out but can't find a succint answer! ]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:11:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30060&PID=847126&title=tiberal#847126
