Answer by Dr. Ru: About Fusafungine usage in lactation
Antibiotic that is used by inhalation for topical treatment of throat and nose infections. At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. It is not absorbed and does not appear in the plasma, hence it appearance in the human milk is highly unlikely. Marketed product in many countries though retired licence in others for no proof on effectiveness.
