Answer by DrLact: About DL 473 usage in lactation
The amount of DL 473 in milk is insufficient to treat tuberculosis in the breastfed infant. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other professional organizations state that breastfeeding should not be discouraged in women taking DL 473.[1][2][3]
