We do not have alternatives for Niclosamide 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.
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.
Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

Niclosamide is an anthelmintic indicated for the treatment of tapeworm infections of beef, pork, fish and dwarf tapeworm in adults and children. Oral administration.
At the date of last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Niclosamide is hardly absorbed. Its negligible oral bioavailability prevents both passage into the mother's plasma, and thus into breast milk, and into the infant's plasma from ingested breast milk.
