Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Lipiarmicin usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of fidxomicin during breastfeeding. Because it is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.
