Is Duropenin Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Duropenin? Is Duropenin safe for nursing mother and child? Does Duropenin extracts into breast milk? Does Duropenin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Duropenin influence milk supply or can Duropenin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Duropenin usage in lactation
: Limited information indicates Duropenin 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. Duropenin is acceptable in nursing mothers.
Duropenin 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 Duropenin 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]
