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

It is a Macrolide-type antibiotic. At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. A high molecular weight makes excretion into breast milk be very unlikely. Until more data on this medication is available, safer alternative drugs are preferred, especially in such critical age periods. Be aware of false negative results of bacterial cultures from febrile infants, that may occur when breastfeeding mothers are taking antibiotics.
