Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-L36O5T016N usage in lactation

Antibiótico derivado de la rifamicina, no aborbible, utilizado por vía oral para tratar determinadas diarreas y afecciones intestinales. A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados en relación con la lactancia pero su falta casi absoluta de absorción intestinal (< 1%) y su elevado peso molecular hacen muy improbable su paso a leche. Por otra parte sus posibles efectos secundarios son leves y casi limitados a molestias abdominales.

Answer by DrLact: About UNII-L36O5T016N usage in lactation

Rifaximin is poorly absorbed orally and used only for gastrointestinal infections. It is not likely to reach the breastmilk or bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants after maternal use. However, no published experience exists with rifaximin during breastfeeding; therefore, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
