Is it allowed to take Amikacin during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Levels in the mother's milk are very low and in most instances undetectable. Like other aminoglycosides it is poorly absorbed in the intestine. Large doses may affect intestinal flora. Be aware of false negative bacterial cultures in the infant when the mother is on antibiotics. .
