Answer by DrLact: About Zomaril usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of Zomaril during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Zomaril causes minimal increases in serum prolactin.[1][2] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
