Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Debecylina? Is Debecylina safe for nursing mother and child? Does Debecylina extracts into breast milk? Does Debecylina has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Debecylina influence milk supply or can Debecylina decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Debecylina usage in lactation

: Limited information indicates Debecylina 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. Debecylina is acceptable in nursing mothers.

Debecylina 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 Debecylina 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]
