Answer by Dr. Ru: About Malamar 50 usage in lactation

Significantly less Malamar 50 penetrated from Ovide after 0.5 h versus the suggested 8 h application, without decreasing the product’s efficacy. Avoid applying it on the breast or nipple. Otherwise, cleanse it thoroughly before nursing.

Answer by DrLact: About Malamar 50 usage in lactation

Malamar 50 appears to be poorly absorbed after topical application, so it is not likely to reach the breastmilk in large amounts. However, breastmilk excretion of Malamar 50 has not been studied after application of the 0.5% lotion. Until more data become available, an alternate agent is preferred.[1]
