Answer by DrLact: About Bismuthi subsalicylas usage in lactation
Because of the possibility of absorption of salicylate from the breastmilk by the infant, alternatives are preferred.[1]
Bismuthi subsalicylas Side Effects in Breastfeeding
One case report of metabolic acidosis was caused by salicylate in a 16-day old breastfed infant whose mother was taking aspirin 650 mg every 4 hours for arthritis.[3] However, there was no measurement of salicylate in maternal serum or milk and it is unclear whether the infant had received any salicylate directly.
