Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 200-506-3 usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that EINECS 200-506-3 produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with penicillins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. EINECS 200-506-3 is acceptable in nursing mothers.

EINECS 200-506-3 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

A breastfed 1-month-old infant with congenital syphilis developed a Herxheimer reaction 6 hours after its mother received 2.4 million units of benzathine EINECS 200-506-3 intramuscularly. However, the baby had also received 10 units of EINECS 200-506-3 at about the same time as the mother's injection. The reaction was possibly caused by penicillin in breastmilk.[5]
