Answer by DrLact: About BCX-1812 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of BCX-1812 during breastfeeding. Because BCX-1812 is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant in clinically important amounts. If BCX-1812 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because no information is available on the use of BCX-1812 breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
