At the date of the last update, the authors did not find any published data on its excretion in breast milk.
The scarcity of published pharmacokinetic data does not allow us to predict its possible excretion in breast milk.
Until more published data is known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.
Some authors consider it compatible with breastfeeding by administering the dose immediately after breastfeeding and expressing and discarding the milk for the next 8 hours (Briggs 2015, Leach 1990).
