Is Rifaximin Safe in Breastfeeding

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Rifaximin? Is Rifaximin safe for nursing mother and child? Does Rifaximin extracts into breast milk? Does Rifaximin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Rifaximin influence milk supply or can Rifaximin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Antibiótico derivado de la rifamicina, no aborbible, utilizado por vía oral para tratar determinadas diarreas y afecciones intestinales. A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados en relación con la lactancia pero su falta casi absoluta de absorción intestinal (< 1%) y su elevado peso molecular hacen muy improbable su paso a leche. Por otra parte sus posibles efectos secundarios son leves y casi limitados a molestias abdominales.

Rifaximin is poorly absorbed orally and used only for gastrointestinal infections. It is not likely to reach the breastmilk or bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants after maternal use. However, no published experience exists with rifaximin during breastfeeding; therefore, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
