Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 3222 usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that HSDB 3222 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. HSDB 3222 is acceptable in nursing mothers.
