Hello, may I take the diet supplement called Relacore & may I shortly consume amoxycillin while I breastfeed my daughter? Could you tell me of a site where I could go & check on drug safety during breastfeeding, please? Thankyou very much! ***@****

Amoxicillin is safe during breast feeding. I am not familiar with Relacore and cannot comment on its safety.
A drug database can be found here:

If you can find a Physician's Desk Reference (PDR), that would be the definitive source of drug information.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
