Answer by DrLact: About RU-66647 usage in lactation

If RU-66647 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 RU-66647 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
