Answer by DrLact: About Methyldichlorophenylisoxazolylpenicillin usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that Methyldichlorophenylisoxazolylpenicillin 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. Methyldichlorophenylisoxazolylpenicillin is acceptable in nursing mothers.
