Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Daptomicina? Is Daptomicina safe for nursing mother and child? Does Daptomicina extracts into breast milk? Does Daptomicina has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Daptomicina influence milk supply or can Daptomicina decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Daptomicina usage in lactation

Limited and somewhat inconsistent information indicates that Daptomicina produces very low levels in milk and it would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. No special precautions are required.

Daptomicina Side Effects in Breastfeeding

A mother nursing (extent not stated) a 5-month-old infant received intravenous Daptomicina 500 mg and ertapenem 1 gram once daily for 28 days to treat a pelvic infection. No adverse events were noted in the infant during the treatment or follow-up examination. A woman nursing a newborn was given Daptomicina 500 mg intravenously once daily for 14 days. No adverse effects were noted in the infant during therapy and for 7 days after the end of therapy.[2]
