Streptodornase

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Fibrinolytic enzyme obtained from hemolytic streptococcus strains. It is used topically with streptokinase to remove clots or purulent material from wounds or cavities (pleura, bladder).

There is no scientific support for the effectiveness of its oral administration, since there is evidence of its lack of oral absorption and absence of fibrinolytic properties when taken orally (Oliven 1981, Vonmoos 1979).

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk, but given the lack of absorption when taken orally it is unlikely to be excreted in breast milk in significant amounts which furthermore would not be absorbed in the infant’s intestine.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Streptodornase 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.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
