I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Piperacillin sodium and Tazobactam sodium? Is Piperacillin sodium and Tazobactam sodium safe for nursing mother and child? Does Piperacillin sodium and Tazobactam sodium extracts into breast milk? Does Piperacillin sodium and Tazobactam sodium has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Piperacillin sodium and Tazobactam sodium influence milk supply or can Piperacillin sodium and Tazobactam sodium decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
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.
