Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 5050 usage in lactation
HSDB 5050 applied topically to maternal skin can result in pyrene absorption by the infant, probably by skin-to-skin or skin-to-mouth contact with the mother. Because of the potential toxicity of HSDB 5050 to the breastfed infant, alternate drugs are preferred.[1] If a HSDB 5050 product is used, it would be prudent to treat the smallest area of skin possible. It is particularly important to ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated.
