Used in the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza A and B.
Administered via inhalation or intravenously in two daily doses.
The low plasma concentrations reached make it unlikely that significant amounts will transfer into breastmilk (Tanaka 2009).
Its very low oral absorption, 2% (Cass 1999), prevents transfer into infant plasma from breastmilk (Skalli 2010, Tanaka 2009).
Its use is authorized in infants from 6 months of age.
Various medical associations and expert consensus consider its use to be safe during breastfeeding (Skalli 2010, Chen 2010, Tanaka 2009, ABM 2009, AEM 2009).
