I have hurt my back badly and have been prescribed diazapam and tremadol. The previous medication of Ibuprofen and cocodamol, which I was taking for the previous 2 days, were not working and I am in serious pain.
I have been prescribed diazepam (valium) (5mg tablet times per day) and tremadol (50mg tablet up to 8 per day, but only taken one so far). I am worried about the effect on my breastmilk. My doctor reassured me that the quantities passed to my 6 month old will be negligible and given the severity of the backpain this is the best solution. My baby is breastfed and on some solids.
I am planning to only take these for 2 or 3 days. What affect if any will this have on my baby? Should I avoid these altogether? Any advice would be much appreciated.
