Answer by Dr. Ru: About Maldison usage in lactation

Significantly less Maldison 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 Maldison usage in lactation

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