クロキサシリン

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

It is a beta-lactam antibiotic, from the penicillin group, resistant to beta-lactamases. Widely used for treatment of Mastitis since it has an effective activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Oral, intramuscular or intravenous administration.

It is excreted in breast milk in clinically insignificant amounts (Matsuda 1984).

Except for occasional and transient gastroenteritis, no harmful effects have been found among breastfed infants from treated mothers. (Ito 1993) 

Although rare, the possibility of transient gastroenteritis due to alteration of the intestinal flora in infants whose mothers take antibiotics should be taken into account. (Benyamini 2005, Ito 1993) 

Several medical societies and expert authors consider the use of this medication to be safe during breastfeeding. (Amir 2014 & 2011, Spencer 2008, Nordeng 2003, Bodley 2000)

List of Essential Medicines by WHO 2002: compatible with breastfeeding. (WHO 2002)

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for クロキサシリン since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
