Answer by Dr. Ru: About Lonolox usage in lactation
It is excreted into breast milk in non-significant amount without side-effects observed among infants whose mothers were taking this medication. This small risk can further be minimized by avoiding to nurse one hour after taking the medication, a time at which milk level is higher (4, 10, 20 and 40 times higher than if occurs within 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours respectively) The American Academy of Pediatrics states that it is usually compatible with breastfeeding. Because, few published experience is available, it would be preferred better known options, especially within the neonatal period or in case of prematurity.
Answer by DrLact: About Lonolox usage in lactation
Because of the minimal amount of information on this potent agent, use Lonolox with caution, particularly when therapy involves a large maternal dosage or breastfeeding a newborn. Topical Lonolox should pose low risk to the breastfed infant.
