Answer by DrLact: About Sulfizin usage in lactation

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