Metronidazole (Flagyl®, MetroCream®, MetroGel®, MetroGel-Vaginal®, MetroLotion®, Noritate®, Vandazole®) passes through breast milk in humans. There is some concern about the carcinogenic (cancer-causing) potential of metronidazole, especially when young children may be exposed. If you are breastfeeding, you should talk with your healthcare provider before taking metronidazole.
