Answer by DrLact: About Dicarboethoxyethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate usage in lactation

Dicarboethoxyethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate appears to be poorly absorbed after topical application, so it is not likely to reach the breastmilk in large amounts. However, breastmilk excretion of Dicarboethoxyethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate has not been studied after application of the 0.5% lotion. Until more data become available, an alternate agent is preferred.[1]
