Answer by Dr. Ru: About Dicloxacilina [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation

Widely used for treatment of Mastitis since it has an effective activity against Staphylococcus.

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.
Answer by DrLact: About Dicloxacilina [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that Dicloxacilina [INN-Spanish] levels in milk are low and are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. It is frequently used to treat mastitis in nursing mothers.[1][2][3] 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. Dicloxacilina [INN-Spanish] is acceptable in nursing mothers.
