Answer by Dr. Ru: About Mercaptosuccinic acid diethyl ester usage in lactation
Significantly less Mercaptosuccinic acid diethyl ester 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 Mercaptosuccinic acid diethyl ester usage in lactation
Mercaptosuccinic acid diethyl ester appears to be poorly absorbed after topical application, so it is not likely to reach the breastmilk in large amounts. However, breastmilk excretion of Mercaptosuccinic acid diethyl ester has not been studied after application of the 0.5% lotion. Until more data become available, an alternate agent is preferred.[1]
