Answer by DrLact: About RWJ 270201 usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of RWJ 270201 during breastfeeding. Because RWJ 270201 is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant in clinically important amounts. If RWJ 270201 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because no information is available on the use of RWJ 270201 breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
