Is 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid Safe in Breastfeeding

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid? Is 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid safe for nursing mother and child? Does 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid extracts into breast milk? Does 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid influence milk supply or can 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Recently, quinolone-related medication has been used in neonates and infants without apparent side effects. It trespasses in tiny amounts into breast milk. Absorption through the child’s gut may be interfered by the calcium contained in the milk. Should it be necessary to prescribe it to a nursing mother, Norfloxacine, Ofloxacine and Ciprofloxacine have shown a lower level in the milk and thus must be the preferred drugs. Because a case of pseudomembranose colitis has been described possibly related to mother ingestion of Ciporfloxacine in a premature infant previously affected of NEC, a close follow-up for diarrhea is warranted. Be aware of the possibility of false negative results of bacterial cultures when the mother is on antibiotics.

Fluoroquinolones have traditionally not been used in infants because of concern about adverse effects on the infants' developing joints. However, recent studies indicate little risk.[1][2] The calcium in milk might prevent absorption of the small amounts of fluoroquinolones in milk,[3] but insufficient data exist to prove or disprove this assertion. Use of 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid is probably acceptable in nursing mothers with monitoring of the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea or candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash). However, it is preferable to use an alternate drug for which safety information is available.
