Like most penicillin-type antibiotics, excretion into breast milk is clinically non-significant. No harmful effects have been found among breastfed infants from treated mothers.

Be aware of false negative results of microbial cultures done from samples of febrile infants whose mothers are treated with antibiotics. Also, due to imbalance of intestinal flora a diarrheal disease can occur in the breastfed infant. List of Essential Medicines by WHO 2002: compatible with breastfeeding.

Limited information indicates that BRL 1621 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. BRL 1621 is acceptable in nursing mothers.

In a telephone follow-up study, 10 nursing mothers reported taking BRL 1621 (dosage unspecified). Two mothers reported diarrhea in their infants. No rashes or candidiasis were reported among the exposed infants.[2]
