Answer by DrLact: About Fargoxin usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Fargoxin in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. If the mother is to receive Fargoxin intravenously, avoidance of breastfeeding for 2 hours after the dose will lessen the dose the infant receives.
