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