Answer by DrLact: About Aceto-caustin usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Aceto-caustin on the skin during breastfeeding. Because it is unlikely to be appreciably absorbed or appear in breastmilk, it is considered safe to use during breastfeeding.[1] Avoid application to areas of the body that might come in direct contact with the infant's skin or where the drug might be ingested by the infant via licking.
