The important part of Hale's review is that "It is poorly absorbed (<0.4%)
and plasma levels are extremely low. While we do not have data in
breastfeeding mothers, it is unlikely enough would enter the maternal plasma
compartment to produce clinically relevant levels in milk."
However the adult dose is mentioned as 200 mg TID for 3 days! Another issue
is that it is brand new and maybe an older med would work just as well
in this situation.
This would be a good case to go to the Infant Risk Center. Perhaps, if mom
takes med, baby can be monitored via blood tests and provide info for the
next time this comes up. Hope this helps. Pat in SNJ
