Answer by DrLact: About Sulfisoxazole dialamine usage in lactation

With healthy, fullterm infants it appears acceptable to use Sulfisoxazole dialamine 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. Sulfisoxazole dialamine should be avoided while breastfeeding a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient infant.
