Answer by DrLact: About Exafal usage in lactation
Exafal have not been studied in nursing mothers. Estimates of its excretion into breastmilk indicate that amounts in milk are very low. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention consider the drug combination acceptable for use in mothers nursing an infant weighing at least 5 kg (11 pounds) and it can be given directly to infants weighing 5 kg or more.[1] The safety of the combination in breastfed infants under 5 kg is not known.
