Latest update failed to find relevant data on breastfeeding.
Pharmacokinetic data (low serum protein binding and high bioavailability) indicates that drug excretion into breast milk in significant amount is highly probable. Absorption by the infant is likely to be high as well.
Frequent and potential severe side effects have been found.
Until more published data is known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives are preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.
