Answer by DrLact: About Stibogluconate de sodium usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that maternal doses of Stibogluconate de sodium up to 1.4 grams daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants,[1] especially if the infant is older than 2 months. However, if withholding nursing during therapy is elected, breastfeeding can be reinstituted 24 to 48 hours after the last dose.
