Answer by DrLact: About R 77-3 usage in lactation

The amount of R 77-3 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 R 77-3.[1][2][3]
