I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use BRN 3658018? Is BRN 3658018 safe for nursing mother and child? Does BRN 3658018 extracts into breast milk? Does BRN 3658018 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can BRN 3658018 influence milk supply or can BRN 3658018 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the use of BRN 3658018 during breastfeeding. Fluoroquinolones have traditionally not been used in infants because of concern about adverse effects on the infants' developing joints. However, recent studies indicate little risk.[1][2] The calcium in milk might prevent absorption of the small amounts of fluoroquinolones in milk,[3] but insufficient data exist to prove or disprove this assertion. Use of BRN 3658018 is acceptable in nursing mothers with monitoring of the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea or candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash). However, it is preferable to use an alternate drug for which safety information is available.
