Answer by DrLact: About Sulfagan usage in lactation
With healthy, fullterm infants it appears acceptable to use Sulfagan during breastfeeding after the newborn period.[1][2] Until further data are accumulated, alternate agents should probably be used in jaundiced, ill, stressed or premature infants, because of the risk of bilirubin displacement and kernicterus. Sulfagan should be avoided while breastfeeding a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient infant.
