Systemic absorption is minimal.

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 3211 usage in lactation

Developmental problems have been reported in two infants exposed to HSDB 3211 in breastmilk; however, their mothers were also exposed to several drugs during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, so the problems cannot necessarily be attributed to HSDB 3211. Because HSDB 3211 is not orally absorbed it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. If HSDB 3211 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding.

HSDB 3211 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

HSDB 3211 was used as part of multidrug regimens to treat two pregnant women with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, one throughout pregnancy and postpartum and the other postpartum only. The infants were breastfed (extent and duration not stated). At age 4.6 and 5.1 years, the children were developing normally except for a mild speech delay in one and hyperactivity in the other.[1]
