Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Torezolid usage in lactation

If Torezolid is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal tract, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and candidiasis (e.g., thrush, diaper rash). However, because there is no published experience with Torezolid during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
