Benzonatate while Nursing
Hello! I am looking for information on Benzonatate while breastfeeding. I was prescribed this medication for bronchitis and the physician ensured me it was safe, but I cannot seem to find any up to date information. I have a 6 month old who is exclusively breastfed. She nurses or drinks expressed milk throughout the day but sleeps through the night, usually from 10p to 8am. Thank You
