Answer by Dr. Ru: About D-Cefadroxil usage in lactation
It is a First generation Cephalosporin. Like other Cephalosporins, D-Cefadroxil is excreted into the breast milk in clinically non-significant amounts. Be aware of the possibility of negative results of cultures done to febrile infants whose mothers are on antibiotics. The American Academy of Pediatrics rates it as usually compatible with breastfeeding.
Answer by DrLact: About D-Cefadroxil usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that D-Cefadroxil 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 cephalosporins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. D-Cefadroxil is acceptable in nursing mothers.
