بيفونازول

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Topical antifungal medication which is indicated for the treatment of mycosis of skin and nails.

At latest update relevant published data were not found on excretion into breast milk.

A negligible systemic absorption through the skin - less than 1% on intact skin and up to 4% on inflamed skin (Fromtling 1988) - makes very unlikely that significant amounts would be excreted into breast milk.

Do not apply on the breast to prevent ingestion by the infant; otherwise, do it just after a meal and clean the nipple thoroughly with water before the next feed.

Local application on the nipple of creams, gels and other products containing paraffin (mineral oil) should better be avoid to keep the infant off from absorption (Noti 2003, Concin 2008).

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for بيفونازول since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
