Answer by DrLact: About Difenossilato usage in lactation
No data exist on the use of Difenossilato during breastfeeding. One expert panel considers Difenossilato to be unacceptable during breastfeeding.[1] Based on its chemical and pharmacological similarity to narcotics, occasional small doses of Difenossilato may be acceptable while breastfeeding an older infant, but alternatives are preferred, especially while nursing a newborn.
