Trovan is trovafloxacin mesylate, a synthetic, broad-spectrum antibiotic
similar to ciprofloxacin.  Breastmilk levels are less than 0.4% of the
maternal dose.  No pediatric concerns reported via milk.  Reviewed in the new
edition of Hale.

I would suggest that there is no concern regarding continued breastfeeding
while the mother is on this drug.  Mom should resume breastfeeding and forget
about the pump&dump.
