Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum? Is Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum safe for nursing mother and child?

Can Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum influence milk supply or can Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum usage in lactation
: Limited information indicates Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with penicillins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum is acceptable in nursing mothers.
Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum Side Effects in Breastfeeding
A breastfed 1-month-old infant with congenital syphilis developed a Herxheimer reaction 6 hours after its mother received 2.4 million units of Benzylpenicillinum benzathinicum intramuscularly. However, the baby had also received 10 units of penicillin G at about the same time as the mother's injection. The reaction was possibly caused by penicillin in breastmilk.[2]
