Is Zosyn Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Zosyn? Is Zosyn safe for nursing mother and child? Does Zosyn extracts into breast milk? Does Zosyn has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Zosyn influence milk supply or can Zosyn decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Zosyn usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that piperacillin produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Tazobactam has not been studied in nursing mothers. 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.
