Answer by DrLact: About U 100766 usage in lactation

U 100766 is excreted into breastmilk in concentration likely to be effective against staphylococcal strains found in mastitis.[1][2][3] Limited data indicate that the maximum dose an infant would receive through breastmilk would be much less than the standard infant dose and that resulting infant serum levels are trivial. If U 100766 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal tract, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and candidiasis (e.g., thrush, diaper rash). However, because there is no published experience with U 100766 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
