Does Diamine penicillin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Diamine penicillin influence milk supply or can Diamine penicillin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Diamine penicillin usage in lactation
: Limited information indicates Diamine penicillin 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. Diamine penicillin is acceptable in nursing mothers.
Diamine penicillin 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 Diamine penicillin 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]
