Antifungal agent that is used as a component of creams, gels, suspensions or pessaries.
At latest update no published data were found on excretion into breast milk.
Less than 5% of the applied dose is absorbed (SMI 2013, Medea 2010, Leachman 2006, Mactal 2001). Because the small dose used and low level achieved in the plasma of most topical dermatological preparations make unlikely the passage of significant amounts into breast milk.
Even more, its high plasma protein-binding capacity makes unlikely excretion into milk.
Do not apply on the breast to prevent infant ingestion; otherwise, apply it after a feeding and clean thoroughly with water before the next one.
It is advisable to avoid the application on the nipple of creams, gels and other products of local application containing kerosene (mineral oil) so that the infant does not absorb it. (Concin 2008, Noti 2003)
