Similar to other aminoglycoside antibiotics, Streptomyzin [German] is poorly excreted into breastmilk. Newborn infants apparently absorb small amounts of aminoglycosides, but serum levels are far below those attained when treating newborn infections and systemic effects of Streptomyzin [German] are unlikely.
