Used topically, locally, via pill or mouthwash and dermatological and vaginal preparations.
Since the last update date we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.
The small dose and low plasma absorption of most oral, dermatological and vaginal topical preparations make it unlikely that significant amounts will transfer to breastmilk.
