Answer by DrLact: About Solfametossazolo [DCIT] usage in lactation

With healthy, fullterm infants it appears acceptable to use Solfametossazolo [DCIT] during breastfeeding after the newborn period. The time of greatest risk for hemolysis in fullterm newborns without glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency might be as short as 8 days after birth.[1] 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. Solfametossazolo [DCIT] should be avoided while breastfeeding a G6PD deficient infant.[2]

Solfametossazolo [DCIT] Side Effects in Breastfeeding

An extensive systematic review of the use of sulfonamides near term and during breastfeeding found no adverse reactions in infants. The authors concluded that use of Solfametossazolo [DCIT] during breastfeeding presents no risk of neonatal kernicterus.[4] A prospective, controlled study asked mothers who called an information service about adverse reactions experience by their breastfed infants. Of 12 women who took Solfametossazolo [DCIT] and trimethoprim during breastfeeding (time postpartum and dosage not reported), none reported diarrhea, drowsiness or irritability in her infant. Two mothers reported poor feeding in their infants.[5]
